About
The traditional character 齟 combines the semantic radical 齒 'teeth' with the phonetic component 且. In simplified form, the radical becomes 齿. Its original meaning is uneven or misaligned teeth, which later extended metaphorically to discord between people or ideas, a sense most commonly found in the compound 龃龉 (clash or conflict).
