About
The character "解" is etymologically derived from a composite structure incorporating the elements for horn, knife, and ox, representing the concrete act of using a blade to separate horns from an animal, thus originally conveying meanings related to physical dissection or division. This core notion of separation naturally evolved to encompass more abstract applications, such as untying bonds, resolving difficulties, and offering explanations, while further semantic extensions led to meanings like understanding a concept, relieving a burden, or dismissing a situation. Throughout its historical development, the character's structural composition has remained largely consistent, preserving the visual logic of its components even as its meanings diversified across both literal and figurative contexts.
