About
The character "式" structurally integrates the component "工", representing a tool or implement, with "弋", which historically conveyed both phonetic value and the notion of a marker or stake, collectively originating from the concept of a carpenter's square as a tangible standard for exactitude. This initial reference to a precise measuring instrument provided a foundation for meanings related to models, patterns, and correctness, which over time expanded into more abstract domains. The character's application broadened from denoting physical templates and rules to encompassing formal procedures, such as ceremonial rites, and later to specialized uses like mathematical formulas, reflecting a semantic shift from concrete tool to an abstract representation of systematic form.
