About
执, written traditionally as 執, originally depicted a person with outstretched arms being restrained, conveying the idea of capture. Its traditional form contains the components 幸 and 丸. The simplified form uses the hand radical 扌 on the left, emphasizing manual action, with a simplified component on the right. The meaning evolved from the physical act of arresting to broader concepts: holding firmly, executing plans, carrying out orders, or stubbornly adhering to beliefs.
