About
The character "谩", with its traditional form "謾", structurally combines the speech radical "讠", derived from "言", and the phonetic component "曼", indicating a lexical association with spoken language and its sound. Etymologically, this character originally conveyed notions of deception and mockery, often through insincere or misleading speech. Over centuries, its meaning gradually narrowed to emphasize scorn and verbal disrespect, as evidenced in modern usage where it appears in terms such as "谩骂" to describe abusive language. The simplification from "謾" to "谩" reduced the graphic complexity of the radical while preserving the phonetic element, yet the character's fundamental connotations of disparaging or false expression have remained consistent throughout its linguistic development.
