About
The character 寇 combines three elements: the roof radical 宀 (a house), the component 元 (a person or head), and the striking radical 攴 (an act of hitting). Together, they depict someone entering a dwelling to commit violence or theft. Thus, 寇 primarily means a bandit, robber, or invader, an external enemy who attacks and plunders. It functions both as a noun for such assailants and as a verb meaning to invade or raid another's territory.
