About
The character '屹' derives from the representation of a mountain's lofty presence, incorporating the radical '山' for meaning related to mountains and the component '乞' for phonetic guidance, forming a phono-semantic compound that has sustained its structural configuration. Initially employed to depict physical elevation and the imposing nature of geographical features, its semantic range gradually expanded to encompass abstract qualities such as steadfastness and unshakable resolve, thereby transitioning from a purely descriptive term to one imbued with metaphorical significance regarding moral or situational firmness. This evolution in meaning reflects a broader pattern in the language where characters anchored in natural imagery acquire nuanced human attributes, while the character's visual form has remained consistent, directly echoing its core connotations of solidity and height.
