About
A phono-semantic compound, 梯 combines the wood radical 木 on the left, indicating its traditional material, with 弟 on the right, which contributes only the pronunciation. The character fundamentally means a ladder or stairs, any stepped apparatus for climbing between elevations. Its sense extends to anything arranged in a step-like progression, such as terraced fields, hierarchical organizations, or systematic stages toward a goal.
