About
The character "俩", traditionally written as "倆", is etymologically constructed from the person radical "亻" combined with the component "两", which denotes the number two, thus forming a compound that explicitly refers to two individuals. Its structural design directly conveys the meaning of a pair of people, evolving from the more general term "两" that originally signified a couple or duality in a broad sense. Over time, the character's application became more specialized in colloquial usage, often indicating both parties in a relational context, and its meaning shifted from a purely numerical reference to one that implies a close association or combined unit, reflecting an adaptation in the language to emphasize human pairing.
