About
The phono-semantic compound 吻 pairs the semantic mouth radical 口 (kǒu) on the left, indicating a connection to the mouth, with the phonetic component 勿 (wù) on the right. Originally, the character referred to the edges of the mouth or the lips of humans and animals. Its meaning later broadened to include the action of kissing. In biological terminology, it also describes the projecting mouthparts or snouts of certain animals, retaining a clear link to oral anatomy.
