About
The character "孤" is composed of the semantic element "子" denoting child and the phonetic element "瓜" denoting melon, which originally referred to a fatherless child. From this specific definition, the meaning expanded over time to describe solitary conditions or feelings of being alone. The character's structure with these components reflects its etymological origin in the concept of orphanhood.
