About
The character 续 is a phono-semantic compound formed by the semantic radical 纟 (sī, silk or thread) and the phonetic component 卖 (mài). Its traditional form 續 combines the silk radical 糹 with the phonetic element 賣. The silk radical establishes the semantic category, linking the character to the act of joining threads into an unbroken line. This concrete action of connecting threads was later extended metaphorically to mean continuation, extension, or proceeding without interruption. The simplification process retained the original structural logic and phonetic-semantic relationship by replacing traditional components with their simplified equivalents.
