About
The character '堕' derives from its traditional counterpart '墮', structurally composed of the radical '阝', originating from '阜' and implying terrain or height, alongside '隋' which provides phonetic guidance and associations with fragmentation. Its earliest meanings centered on physical descent or collapse, often from an elevated position, but through extended use it acquired metaphorical dimensions referring to moral decay or a decline in status. The simplified form '堕' emerged with a modified right section, exchanging '隋' for the combination of '有' and '土', thus reshaping the character's appearance while preserving its fundamental notion of falling, whether in a concrete or abstract sense.
