About
The character '逍' is structured with the ⻌ radical indicating movement and the component '肖' serving a phonetic role, originally associated with the concept of unobstructed walking or roaming. Its meaning became specialized through its fixed pairing in the compound '逍遥', evolving from a literal sense of physical wandering to convey an abstract idea of carefree leisure and unconstrained existence. Over centuries, the character lost any independent semantic function and is now exclusively used within this compound to express a state of philosophical ease and freedom.
