About
The character "簸" in its traditional form consists of the bamboo radical "竹" atop the component "其", which is itself combined with "皮". This structure reflects its original reference to a specific implement, a winnowing fan or basket traditionally made from bamboo, used to separate grain from chaff by tossing it in the air. From this noun, the character developed its primary verb meanings describing the act of winnowing itself, and by extension, the generalized actions of tossing, shaking, or sifting things, as well as the state of being颠簸, or jolted.
