About
The character "槌" is constructed from the semantic component "木", indicating wood, and the phonetic component "追", which suggests its historical pronunciation. Its structure consistently denotes a tool made of wood, originally referring to a club or a heavy stick used for striking or pounding. Over time, its meaning became more specific, coming to designate implements like a mallet, a drumstick, or a beater, such as those used for laundry, all of which retain the core function of delivering a blow. The traditional form of the character is identical to this one.
