About
The character "俏" is structured as a phono-semantic compound with the person radical 亻 serving as its semantic component, linking it to human qualities, and 肖 acting as its phonetic element while also imparting an early sense of resemblance or likeness. Initially used to convey similarity or imitation, the character's meaning narrowed over time to specifically denote an attractive and stylish appearance in individuals, such as being pretty or handsome. This semantic shift led to its modern primary sense describing physical beauty, and subsequently extended to apply to goods that are fashionable and in high demand due to their appeal.
