About
The character 揍, structured with the hand radical 扌 alongside the phonetic component 奏, originally denoted the act of gathering or meeting in early Chinese usage, a sense derived from its compositional elements where 奏 contributed both sound and a notion of presentation. Over time, this meaning gradually shifted, and by the late imperial period, 揍 had come to exclusively signify the act of hitting or beating someone, a semantic transition that aligned the hand radical more directly with physical aggression. This evolution in meaning, while obscuring the original etymology, resulted in the character's contemporary definition as a verb for striking, maintained consistently in modern lexicon without alteration to its graphical form.
