About
The character "逍" is encountered almost exclusively within the compound "逍遥", and its construction follows the phono-semantic model, incorporating the motion-oriented radical ⻌ alongside the phonetic component "肖". Etymologically, the term originally denoted the physical act of meandering or roaming at leisure, but through sustained use in classical literature and philosophy, particularly within Daoist contexts, its meaning gradually shifted to express a more abstract ideal of mental detachment and spiritual ease. This evolution reflects a transition from literal movement to a metaphorical state of unburdened existence, while the character's graphical form has maintained its structural integrity throughout its historical usage.
