About
The character "锤" finds its origin in the traditional form "錘", structurally combining the metal radical (金) with the component (垂), which primarily provided a phonetic indication while also loosely suggesting a sense of something hanging or weighted. Initially representing a concrete object, specifically a hammer or a metal weight used as a tool or measure, its core meaning was tied to physical heft and impact. From this nominal basis, the character's application extended to encompass the verbal action of striking or pounding with such an implement, and subsequently, through metaphorical adaptation, it began to describe concepts characterized by heavy pressure or forceful influence, thereby broadening its semantic field while retaining its essential compositional logic.
