About
The character "绯" signifies a crimson or scarlet shade, constructed through the phono-semantic principle with the semantic component "纟", derived from the traditional radical "糸" denoting silk, which links it to colored threads or dyes, while the phonetic element "非" indicates its sound. Its traditional form "緋" preserves the "糸" radical, reinforcing the original association with silk fabrics dyed in this vivid color. Historically used specifically for deep reds in textiles, the term gradually extended to describe analogous red hues in wider applications, yet its core meaning has remained focused on rich red tones, reflecting a steady lexical function from earlier periods into contemporary language.
