About
The character for deception, 骗, originates from its traditional form 騙, which is composed of the semantic component 馬 (horse) and the phonetic component 扁. Its earliest meaning was not directly related to lying but instead described the action of leaping or mounting a horse, a sense now largely obsolete. Over time, the meaning shifted from this physical act of agile movement to encompass the more abstract and negative concept of using clever words or actions to mislead someone, capturing the idea of a swift and skillful manipulation of truth. The modern simplified form retains the phonetic element 扁 but replaces the detailed 馬 with its streamlined counterpart 马, preserving the character’s structural logic while reducing its complexity.
