About
Originating from the depiction of a tiger with pronounced stripes, the character "彪" is structurally composed of "虎" representing the tiger and "彡" indicating stripes or patterns, which directly informed its early meaning of a striped beast or vividly marked appearance. Over centuries, its semantic range expanded beyond the literal to convey notions of something being conspicuously manifest or emphatically present, which in turn facilitated its metaphorical use in describing persons of robust vitality or exceptional vigor, thus transitioning from a concrete visual reference to an abstract term denoting strength and distinction.
