About
鞑 is a phono-semantic compound with the semantic leather radical 革 on the left, indicating animal hides and saddles, and the phonetic component 达 on the right. Its traditional form, 韃, uses the unsimplified phonetic 達 with the same radical. Historically, it was coined to transcribe the names of northern nomadic peoples, most notably the Tatars. The leather radical reflects the pastoral, equestrian lifestyle of these cultures, embedding their reliance on hides for clothing, shelter, and horse tack directly into the character's structure.
