About
The character "扮" integrates the hand radical 扌 with the component 分, a construction that initially suggested manual actions of dividing or arranging, as reflected in early textual uses where it conveyed handling or preparation. Over time, its application narrowed from these broader manipulations to specifically denote the act of adorning or costuming, particularly within performative settings, which led to its contemporary meaning centered on portraying a character or adopting a disguised appearance through deliberate alteration of one's look.
