About
The character "习", in its simplified form, originates from the traditional character "習", which structurally combines the radical for feathers with another element, initially conveying the image of a bird repeatedly practicing flight. This etymological basis established a primary sense of repetition and routine, a meaning that over time extended metaphorically to encompass the acquisition of knowledge through study, the act of practicing skills, and the development of settled customs or habits. The modern simplified version, though a truncated representation of the original construction, continues to embody these linked ideas, functioning as a verb meaning to learn or practice and forming an integral part of vocabulary denoting ingrained behaviors or attained proficiencies.
