About
The character 锋 (traditional: 鋒) is a phono-semantic compound. Its left side is the metal radical (钅 in simplified form, 金 in traditional), which indicates the material of blades and tools. The right component 逢 provides the pronunciation. The character literally means the sharp point or cutting edge of a weapon or tool, the most acute part of a metal instrument. This sharpness extends metaphorically to describe the vanguard of an army, the leading edge of a trend, or the incisive quality of someone's speech or intellect.
