About
骅 is the simplified version of 驊, a phono-semantic compound joining the horse radical (馬, simplified 马) with 華 (simplified 华), which carries the meaning "splendid" or "flowery". The character names a legendary or exceptionally fine horse, typically distinguished by a red or chestnut coat. The semantic value of 華 underscores the steed's superior quality, beauty, and prestige, elevating the term well beyond a mere label for an animal.
