About
The simplified character 访 and its traditional form 訪 are phono-semantic compounds. The speech radical, simplified as 讠 and written as 言 in its traditional form, indicates the core meaning relates to verbal communication. The component 方 on the right, meaning "direction", serves as the phonetic element. The original meaning was to consult or inquire through conversation. This sense later expanded to include visiting a person or place, and conducting formal investigations or interviews.
