About
The character 骑, derived from the traditional form 騎, is a phono-semantic compound. Its left semantic radical 马 (horse) indicates the meaning category, while the right component 奇 provides the phonetic sound. The fundamental meaning is to sit astride and ride a horse, a primary mode of historical transportation and military movement. This sense later broadened to include riding other animals, as well as operating modern vehicles like bicycles and motorcycles that require a straddling posture. Grammatically, it can also function as a noun for a rider or as a classifier for mounted cavalrymen and horses.
