About
Etymologically, the character '镖' is structured with the metal radical '钅' alongside the phonetic component '票', a formation mirrored in its traditional counterpart '鏢' where the radical '金' is used. Originally referring to a metal dart or projectile weapon, the term later acquired a broader semantic range, coming to denote the professional guards who used such weapons for escort duties and the related services of protected transportation. This evolution in meaning from a physical object to an occupational and systemic concept illustrates how the character's application adapted to historical contexts where secure travel was paramount.
