About
The character 剃 is structurally composed of the knife radical 刂 and the phonetic component 弟, directly associating its meaning with cutting actions performed by a blade. Etymologically, this character has denoted shaving or hair cutting since early textual records, with the phonetic 弟 indicating pronunciation and the radical 刂 specifying the instrumental method. Over time, its semantic scope has focused specifically on hair removal, without extending to broader cutting activities.
