About
The character "羸" signifies thinness or weakness, and its structure integrates the semantic radical "羊" (sheep) with a phonetic component historically linked to "嬴", suggesting an original association with emaciated animals. Over time, its application expanded from describing lean livestock to encompassing general physical depletion in humans and other contexts, while the character's form consolidated into its current composition.
