About
Composed of the hand radical and the component '奈', the character '捺' etymologically relates to the action of pressing down, as implied by its pictorial elements. Initially denoting a physical act of pressure applied by the hand, its semantic range later incorporated the specific calligraphic stroke known as the right-falling stroke, which visually echoes the downward motion of pressing. This evolution reflects how the character's functional application in describing hand movements was adapted to describe a fundamental stroke in writing, thereby bridging concrete action and abstract form.
