About
The character "耀", meaning to shine or to glorify, is structurally composed of the semantic element "光" for light and the phonetic element "翟", which historically also contributed to its association with brilliant plumage, reflecting a convergence of ideas around radiance and display. Its form has remained largely consistent over time, with the components together evoking imagery of light and sheen. Originally denoting physical brilliance, such as the gleam of light or the iridescence of feathers, the term's usage gradually expanded to include metaphorical dimensions of honor, distinction, and the act of making something manifestly bright or illustrious in both literary and everyday contexts.
