About
The character 滴, formed by the water radical 氵 alongside the phonetic component 啇, has historically conveyed the idea of dripping or a drop of liquid due to its semantic indication of fluidity. Its etymological construction has ensured a consistent core meaning related to small quantities of liquid, and while its usage has broadened in some contexts to function as a verb for dripping or a measure word for drops, the essential concept has not shifted significantly over time.
