About
The character "碟" is etymologically linked to stone, as seen in its semantic component "石", while the phonetic component "枼" provides its sound, forming a phono-semantic compound that has maintained its structure over time. Originally referring to small plates or dishes crafted from stone, its meaning gradually extended to include similar vessels made from other materials like ceramic or wood. This semantic expansion continued into contemporary usage where it also denotes disc-shaped objects, such as in the compound for flying saucer, illustrating a shift from a specific material designation to a more general functional term for flat, round containers.
