About
The character "偕" is constructed from the human radical 亻 combined with 皆, meaning "all", which phonetically and semantically informs its core idea of collective accompaniment. Etymologically, it signifies being together or in company, a concept that has remained central from its earliest recorded uses through classical literature, where it commonly appeared in phrases like "偕老" to denote growing old together or "偕行" for joint travel. While its structural composition has been consistent, the character's application has gradually narrowed, with its independent use becoming less frequent in vernacular speech and its meaning preserved largely within set compounds and formal contexts that emphasize mutual action or shared experience.
