About
The character 摈 (traditional: 擯) combines the semantic hand radical 扌, indicating an action, with the phonetic component 宾 (guest). Its core meaning is to reject, discard, or cast aside, often implying a decisive dismissal from a group. While the phonetic suggests a guest, the definition is oppositive, frequently describing the exclusion of individuals or the abandonment of obsolete practices within a given context.
