About
结 is the simplified form of 結, a phono-semantic compound where the silk radical 纟 on the left indicates the semantic category and 吉 on the right provides the phonetic component. The silk radical ties to the original physical action of knotting cords, binding threads, or weaving materials. From this concrete action, the meaning extended to abstract concepts of connection and completion, such as forming alliances, concluding affairs, summarizing results, or the biological process of bearing fruit.
