About
As a phono-semantic compound, 砍 uses the stone radical 石 on the left to indicate its historical origins in stone tools, while the right component 欠 provides its phonetic guide. The character means to chop or hack with a forceful, downward motion, a sense that arose from early stone axes and cleavers and naturally extended to later metal blades.
