About
The character "歪" is formed from the components "不" (not) and "正" (straight), creating a compound that etymologically conveys the idea of "not straight" or crooked. This structure directly informs its original meaning referring to physical slanting or asymmetry. Over time, the semantic range of "歪" extended beyond literal descriptions to include metaphorical uses, such as denoting deviant or improper conduct, fallacious reasoning, and corrupt practices, reflecting a shift from concrete to abstract applications.
