About
The character 属, connected to its traditional form 屬, is a phono-semantic compound where the radical 尸 (flag or body) serves as the semantic component, and the internal element provides the phonetic value. Its historical meaning centered on physical attachment and connection, forming an unbroken sequence. This sense gradually extended to relationships of classification and ownership, leading to its core meanings: to belong to a group, fall under a category, or be affiliated with an entity as a dependent.
