About

The character "谟", in its traditional form, is composed of the semantic component "言" meaning speech or language, combined with the phonetic component "莫". Its etymology points to a meaning centered on deliberation and counsel, specifically the act of formulating plans or strategies through considered discourse. Over time, its application shifted from the active verbal sense of planning or devising to a more nominal meaning, denoting the plan or strategy itself, a comprehensive scheme or counsel. The character thus encapsulates a conceptual movement from the process of thoughtful verbal consultation to the substantive outcome of that process, with its structural components consistently anchoring it to the realm of spoken advice and intention.
