About
The character 疤, meaning a scar or a sore, derives its meaning from a logical combination of its components. Its structural composition is consistent in both its traditional and modern forms, pairing the sickness radical 疒 with the phonetic component 巴. The radical 疒 immediately situates the character within the semantic realm of physical ailments or marks left upon the body, while 巴, primarily serving a phonetic role, may also carry a connotation of something that clings or adheres, much like a scar does to skin. Over time, its core meaning has remained stable, referring specifically to the mark left by a healed wound or an ulcerous lesion, with its application occasionally extending metaphorically to describe similar blemishes on surfaces or objects.
