About
The character "缅" structurally combines the silk radical with the phonetic element "面", etymologically originating from connotations of fine silk or threads, which implied both delicacy and a sense of extended length. This initial meaning naturally broadened to express spatial remoteness or distance, a conceptual foundation that later facilitated a shift toward temporal distance, thereby acquiring the abstract sense of recollection or thinking back upon the past. Its consistent graphical form, anchored by the silk radical, continues to hint at this lineage from a tangible material to an expression of mental retrospection, encapsulating how the character's core notion of extension evolved while its written structure remained stable.
