About
The character 驼, from the traditional 駝, combines the horse radical 马 on the left, indicating a large riding or draft animal, with the component 它 on the right, which supplies the phonetic value. Its core meaning refers to the camel, an animal vital for transport in arid regions. The sense later extended to describe the prominent hump associated with the animal, and by analogy, to denote a hunched posture or the act of carrying a heavy load on one’s back.
