Etymology
About
锜 (traditional 錡) is a phono-semantic compound combining the metal radical 钅 with the phonetic 奇 (qí). In classical texts, it had two distinct meanings: an ancient metal cauldron or three-legged cooking pot, and a type of jagged saw or woodworking tool. Though these objects are now obsolete, the character's metal radical consistently links its meanings to bronze or iron implements.
