About
The character "呗" derives from the transliteration of the Sanskrit word "bhāṣā", which originally denoted the chanting of Buddhist sutras, and this etymological origin is embedded in its structure through the mouth radical indicating vocalization paired with the phonetic component "贝", a simplification of the traditional form "唄" where the right element is "貝". Over time, its application broadened from a specific religious context to secular use, evolving into a modern modal particle that softens suggestions or expresses obviousness in colloquial dialogue, all while maintaining its fundamental association with speech through the consistent mouth radical.
