About
The character 悼, formed by the heart radical 忄 alongside the component 卓, etymologically links emotional anguish to the heart, with 卓 contributing a sense of profundity or elevation to that grief. Historically, its primary meaning has been to mourn or feel sorrow for the dead, a definition that has persisted through time with little alteration. While occasionally used in classical texts to denote regret or sorrow over broader circumstances, its central association with bereavement and funeral rites has remained dominant, reflecting the character's structural emphasis on inner sentiment.
