About
The character 瞫 is structurally composed of the eye radical 目 combined with 覃, which historically conveys connotations of depth or extension, contributing to the character's etymological sense of looking deeply or scrutinizing. Over time, while this core meaning persisted, 瞫 also acquired the function of a surname, reflecting a semantic shift where descriptive terms were adopted for familial identification. The character's form, built from these components, has seen no major structural alterations.
