About
The character 瞬 is a phono-semantic compound, with its left component 目 (eye) indicating a meaning related to vision or ocular actions. The right component 舜 serves as the phonetic element, providing the character's pronunciation. Etymologically, 瞬 originally described the physical act of blinking or rapidly opening and closing the eyes. From this notion of a quick action, its meaning naturally extended to denote an extremely brief moment, a split second or instant, which is now its most common usage, often describing rapid transitions in both writing and speech.
