About
The character 雄 is structurally composed of the semantic component 隹, meaning "bird", and the phonetic component 厷. Its etymological origin points to a specific meaning of "male bird", which then broadened to denote the male gender across various species. From this biological basis, the term underwent a semantic expansion to encompass associated qualities such as strength, dominance, and excellence, thereby entering into usage describing heroes, superior states, and powerful attributes.
