About
The character "整" structurally integrates the components "敕" and "正", where the former carries connotations of ordering or rectifying and the latter signifies uprightness or correctness, collectively conveying the idea of making something orderly or proper. Originally denoting the action of arranging or putting things in order, its meaning gradually expanded to include states of completeness and wholeness, as well as the act of rectifying or adjusting systems and conditions. This shift from primarily describing physical organization to encompassing abstract qualities of entirety and correction is reflected in its historical usage across various texts and periods.
