About
The character "孕", representing the concept of pregnancy, is structurally composed of the component "子" meaning child, positioned beneath "乃", which historically served as a phonetic indicator despite contemporary pronunciation discrepancies. Etymologically derived from an early pictographic idea of a figure enclosing a child within the body, its form stabilized into the recognizable combination seen today, maintaining a direct visual allusion to gestation. While its primary meaning has consistently centered on the condition of carrying an unborn offspring, it has occasionally extended into figurative uses denoting the act of containing or fostering development. Over its long history, the character's construction has endured with little modification, sustaining its inherent connection to birth and fertility.
