About
The character 雄, structurally derived from the component 厷 implying strength or the arm and 隹 representing a bird, originally denoted a male bird, specifically a rooster, in early Chinese contexts. Its semantic range expanded over time from indicating biological maleness in animals to encompassing general masculine attributes, and further evolved to convey abstract qualities of power, superiority, and heroic prowess, all while maintaining its consistent compositional form across historical periods.
