About
The character "瘢", representing a scar or cutaneous mark, is etymologically rooted in its composition as a phono-semantic compound, where the radical 疒 categorically links it to disease or injury while the component 般 chiefly offers phonetic correspondence and perhaps a tangential sense of a fixed pattern or imprint. Historically, its meaning has been specifically attached to the physical evidence of healed lesions, such as those from wounds or sores, and this primary denotation has persisted with little deviation over time. The traditional form "瘢" structurally encapsulates this concept, and its consistent use in medical and literary contexts underscores a stable semantic trajectory focused on dermatological remnants.
