About
The character 傲 is a phono-semantic compound. The semantic radical 亻 (rén, person) indicates a human trait, while the phonetic component 敖 (áo) originally depicted a person traveling aloofly, suggesting elevation. Together, they convey meanings of pride and arrogance. This encompasses a spectrum from negative conceit and stubbornness to positive nobility, unyielding character, and dignified independence before adversity or authority.
