About
The character representing the act of scolding, traditionally formed as 罵, structurally integrates the net radical 罒 positioned above the component 馬 signifying horse, a configuration where the horse element primarily serves a phonetic role while the net radical might allude to the confrontational or ensnaring quality of harsh language. Its fundamental meaning of issuing curses or reproaches has persisted across time without substantial alteration, and the simplified variant 骂 continues this structural logic by employing an abbreviated form of the phonetic component. The link to the horse is therefore not semantic but phonological, originating from historical sound correspondences that influenced the character's construction.
