About
The character 翎, signifying a feather or plume, is etymologically derived from the semantic element 羽, meaning 'feather,' paired with the phonetic element 令, which provides auditory guidance, and this structural composition has persisted without major modification. Its meaning has historically centered on the large, firm feathers of birds, particularly those employed in the fletching of arrows or as decorative accents in headdresses and costumes, and though its usage has become more specialized over centuries, the fundamental association with avian feathers remains intact.
