About
The character "击", originating from its traditional form "擊", etymologically conveys the action of striking with a hand or tool, a concept embedded in its structure that integrates the hand radical "手" with the component "毄", which historically contributed phonetic and semantic elements related to impact. Over time, the character's form was progressively simplified through common usage and scribal conventions, yielding the streamlined "击" that still evokes the notion of forceful contact. While its core meaning has consistently centered on physical hitting, the semantic range of "击" has broadened to encompass military offensives, athletic maneuvers, and metaphorical collisions, reflecting an adaptive yet stable lexical evolution.
