About
The character 酥 is an ideogrammatic and phono-semantic compound, with the radical 酉 (an alcohol vessel) on the left indicating a connection to fermentation or dairy processing, and 箇 禾 (grain) on the right providing the phonetic element. Originally, it referred to a dairy product like butter or fermented milk paste used by pastoral communities. Its meaning later extended to describe the flaky, crumbly, or crisp texture of foods prepared with such fats, as seen in pastries. Metaphorically, it also came to express a physical sensation of weakness or limpness caused by exhaustion or strong emotion.
