About
The character "许", historically represented in its traditional form as "許", combines the semantic component "言" denoting speech with the phonetic component "午", suggesting its early associations with verbal acts such as granting consent or offering a pledge. Over the centuries, its meaning extended from these origins in spoken agreement to encompass broader concepts of permission and commendation, while its structural foundation in language-related elements persistently shaped its usage across literary and everyday contexts.
