About
磁 (cí) is a phono-semantic compound where the stone radical 石 (shí) on the left classifies it as a mineral or hard material, while the right component 兹 (zī) provides the pronunciation. Historically, it referred to stones with attractive properties, leading to its modern meaning related to magnetism and magnetic fields. Due to phonetic borrowing and material similarity, it is also sometimes used interchangeably for porcelain, though its primary scientific and everyday use remains magnetism.
