About
The character "信" is composed of the person radical "亻" and the component "言" meaning speech, structurally conveying that a person's words should be truthful. Its original meaning focused on sincerity and trustworthiness in both speech and conduct. The semantic field later broadened to encompass belief or faith, as in confidence in a person or doctrine, and also developed to denote a letter or message, derived from the trust placed in written correspondence carrying reliable information.
