About
The traditional form 轉 combines 車 (vehicle/wheel) as the semantic radical with 專 as the phonetic component. Its simplified form, 转, replaces these with 车 and 专 respectively, reducing the stroke count. The original meaning centers on the rotation of a wheel, derived from the vehicle radical. This sense of turning or pivoting later extended to abstract notions of transfer, shift, or change in direction, such as moving funds or altering one’s perspective, while consistently retaining the core idea of revolving around a point or shifting position.
