About
The character "述" integrates the semantic radical 辶, which conveys movement or progression, with the component 朮, acting as both a phonetic element and a bearer of connotations related to method or technique. This structural formation originally implied actions such as adhering to a tradition or following a prescribed course, which gradually shifted focus from physical compliance to the verbal act of relaying information in an orderly manner. As its application moved into the linguistic domain, the character came to emphasize the structured expression of accounts, solidifying its contemporary meaning centered on narration or description while retaining its foundational link to systematic presentation.
