About
The character "暑", denoting heat or hot weather, is formed from the sun radical "日" combined with the component "者", which primarily offers phonetic guidance while subtly contributing to the sense of a prevailing condition. Its etymological basis directly links the sun's intensity to the concept of seasonal warmth, particularly the sustained heat characteristic of summer. Throughout its usage history, the character's form has remained consistent without graphical simplification, and its core meaning has steadfastly centered on thermal heat, even as its application expanded into compound terms to describe related ideas such as summer periods or oppressive temperatures. This structural integration of a clear semantic element with a phonetic component illustrates a common pattern in the formation of Chinese characters.
