About
The character 驻 is a phono-semantic compound. Its traditional form 駐 combines the horse radical 馬, indicating an equine connection, with the phonetic component 主 on the right. The simplified form 驻 uses the radical 马. The original meaning referred to a horse or rider halting, which evolved into the broader sense of staying or being stationed, often used in military or diplomatic contexts to denote a permanent assignment to a location.
