Etymology
About
駜 is a phono-semantic compound with an etymological focus on equine health and vigor. The left-side semantic radical 馬 'horse' sets the meaning, while the right-side phonetic 必 dictates the pronunciation. It describes a horse in prime physical condition, robust, heavily built, and visibly well-fed, essentially a plump and powerful riding or draft animal. The 馬 radical restricts the term to equine husbandry, equestrianism, and veterinary description; the phonetic 必 carries no semantic weight.
