About
The character "驹", derived from its traditional form "駒", is structurally a phono-semantic compound combining the radical "馬" for horse with the component "句" primarily serving a phonetic function, thus originally specifying a colt or foal. Throughout its historical usage, the term has maintained this central zoological meaning while gradually accumulating metaphorical layers, particularly in classical texts where it often evokes concepts of youthful vigor or untapped potential. In modern contexts, though still denoting a young horse, it persists in literary and nominative applications to convey qualities of vitality and promise, reflecting a subtle expansion from its purely literal origins without departing from its fundamental equine association.
