About
The character "瞿" structurally combines the "eye" radical (目) positioned above the component for "bird" (隹), a configuration that implies a relationship to vision or an alert, watchful state. Etymologically, it originally conveyed the sense of looking around with alarm or trepidation, often associated with a startled expression, and over time its meaning broadened to encompass sustained gazing or intense observation. This semantic expansion shifted the character from primarily denoting sudden fear to also describing deliberate visual attention, while its form has persisted in its traditional composition, and it concurrently functioned as a surname drawn from these ancestral connotations.
