About
The character '机', traditionally written as '機', is structurally composed of the wood radical paired with the phonetic element '幾', indicating its early association with wooden implements like looms or mechanical triggers. Its semantic scope gradually expanded from these concrete artifacts to encompass abstract notions such as critical junctures or fundamental principles, mirroring broader cultural advancements. The simplified form '机' replaces the phonetic component with '几', originally denoting a small table, yet through systematic character simplification it has assimilated the full range of meanings from its traditional predecessor, continuing to denote both mechanical devices and metaphorical opportunities within the language.
