About
The character "铝" designates the element aluminum and exemplifies a phono-semantic construction, merging the simplified metal radical "钅" with the phonetic component "吕" to denote its material category and approximate its sound. Its traditional form "鋁" utilizes the full metal radical "金" paired with the identical phonetic, adhering to the conventional pattern for metallic elements in the language. This character was formulated in the modern period to name a newly isolated metal, adopting the established lexical practice where the radical conveys the substance class and the phonetic element aligns with the contemporary pronunciation derived from international nomenclature. From its creation, the term has maintained a fixed reference to the chemical element, exhibiting no meaningful change in its application or interpretation.
