About
The character "冗" structurally integrates the roof radical "宀" with the component "儿" representing a person, visually implying a person confined under a roof and thus etymologically conveying a sense of crowdedness or surplus within a limited space. This original notion of physical excess gradually extended into abstract realms, acquiring meanings related to superfluity and redundancy, and later came to describe unnecessarily prolonged or diffuse speech and text. Its form has persisted without major graphical alteration, while its conceptual shift from literal congestion to figurative excess marks its semantic progression over time.
