About
The character "秃" for baldness is structurally composed of the elements "禾" and "几", with the traditional form "禿" displaying a slight stroke variation atop "几". Etymologically, this configuration suggests the concept of a grain plant missing its top, metaphorically referring to a head without hair. Its meaning originally applied specifically to a hairless scalp but later expanded to describe any barren or bare condition, such as deforested terrain, and also to indicate bluntness in objects like tools. The simplified form "秃" continues to use the same fundamental components.
