About
The character 椅, formed by the wood radical 木 paired with the phonetic component 奇, originally denoted a type of tree known for its firm and usable timber. Over time, as social customs and interior furnishings evolved towards elevated seating, the term's application shifted from the arboreal source to the common piece of furniture constructed from its wood, thereby cementing its contemporary meaning as the standard word for chair.
