About
The character "骚" originates from its traditional form "騷", which combines the horse radical "馬" with the component "蚤" meaning flea, etymologically suggesting agitation akin to pests troubling an animal. Initially denoting physical disturbance or unrest, its meaning broadened through literary use to convey poetic elegance and sorrowful agitation, as exemplified in the classic poem "Li Sao". Over time, while retaining core senses related to harassment and turmoil, the character has also come to describe flirtatious or provocative behavior, marking a semantic expansion from tangible disruption to nuanced social and expressive connotations.
