About
The character "吵" combines the semantic radical 口, meaning mouth, with the component 少, which historically provided phonetic guidance while also contributing a sense of insubstantial or excessive output, together evoking the concept of vocal disturbance. Its structure, with the mouth radical positioned alongside 少, has remained consistent, reflecting an enduring link between oral activity and noise. Originally denoting clamorous or chaotic sounds, the term gradually acquired additional layers of meaning to include verbal disputes and arguments, thereby extending its reference from mere auditory phenomena to interpersonal conflict and social friction.
