About
The character "瞟", which conveys the action of casting a quick or sidelong glance, is structurally composed of the semantic radical "目" for eye and the phonetic component "票", guiding its pronunciation while the radical anchors its meaning in the domain of vision. Its etymology reflects a direct association with looking, and the character's meaning has maintained a consistent focus on this brief, often indirect visual action without broadening into other areas of sight. The phonetic element "票", originally bearing senses related to lightness or swiftness, may implicitly reinforce the transient nature of the glance, yet the character itself has not undergone significant semantic expansion or shift from its core definition.
