About
The character "愚" is structured with the phonetic component "禺" above the semantic component "心", linking it conceptually to the mind or heart, and its etymology points to an original meaning of mental dullness or foolishness. Over time, this core meaning of lacking intelligence or wisdom has remained central, though the character has also been adopted in certain polite or formal contexts for self-reference, such as in the term "愚见" to denote a humble opinion. The traditional form of the character, which is identical in structure to its modern standard rendering, has not undergone any graphical simplification, preserving the combination of "禺" and "心" throughout its historical usage.
