About
曹 consists of a top section historically representing two bundles or objects placed together, above the component 曰, which relates to speech. Its earliest meaning referred to a group of officials or a governmental bureau managing legal or state affairs. The sense later extended to mark plural groups of people or peers, and it was commonly used in legal terms for plaintiffs and defendants in disputes. Today, 曹 is best known as a prominent surname, having largely lost its original administrative and legal functions.
