About
The character "鹃" finds its origin in the traditional form "鵑", a compound construct where the component "肙" serves a phonetic function while "鳥" acts as a semantic radical to classify it as a bird, a structural relationship maintained in the simplified form with "鸟". This character has consistently referred to the cuckoo bird, primarily appearing within the compound "杜鹃", a term that also extends to the azalea flower through associative naming. Its etymological foundation has remained stable, with the phonetic element continuing to suggest pronunciation and the radical affirming category, ensuring the character's specialized ornithological meaning has not shifted across its historical usage.
