About
The character "跳", meaning to jump or leap, is constructed from the semantic component "足" (foot), which categorizes it within the realm of foot-related actions, and the phonetic component "兆", which provides a clue to its historical pronunciation. Its core meaning of propelling oneself off the ground with one's feet has remained constant, yet its application has broadened metaphorically to describe sudden movements or abrupt transitions, such as a heartbeat skipping or prices making a jump. The traditional form retains this same structural composition, and the character's conceptual foundation has consistently linked physical springing action to more abstract instances of rapid change or omission.
