About
顾 is the simplified form of 顧, a phono-semantic compound originally tied to actions of the head. In the traditional character, the radical 頁 (yè, "head") carries the meaning, while 雇 (gù) gives the sound. Simplification reduces 頁 to 页 and abbreviates the phonetic 雇 to 厄. The earliest meaning was the physical act of turning the head to look back or to gaze in a certain direction. Over time, this extended to abstract senses such as looking after someone, taking facts into consideration, patronizing a business, and attending to responsibilities.
