About
The character "驱" derives from the traditional form "驅", which is constructed from the semantic component "馬" meaning horse and the phonetic element "區". This composition originally indicated the specific action of driving or urging horses forward, a sense prevalent in classical writings. Over time, its application broadened beyond equestrian contexts to encompass the general act of expelling or repelling, such as driving away pests or negative influences, and further acquired metaphorical uses like propelling or motivating people. The simplified form "驱" continues this structural pattern, with "马" serving as the semantic radical for horse and "区" as the phonetic marker, thus sustaining the character's core conceptual association with forced movement or dismissal.
