About
The character 甄 combines the radical 瓦 (wǎ), meaning "tile" or "earthenware", on the right, indicating its origins in pottery craft, with the phonetic component 垔 (yīn) on the left. Originally, it described the physical process of shaping clay on a potter's wheel. From this concrete act of forming and selecting clay, the meaning abstracted to denote the careful examination and selection of individuals, particularly for official or academic positions.
