About
The character "骤", traditionally written as "驟", originates from a structural combination of the "horse" radical 馬 and the component 聚, which functions phonetically while also suggesting a gathering or intensification of momentum, initially representing the specific action of a horse breaking into a gallop with impulsive speed. This literal sense of rapid, forceful movement gradually extended metaphorically over time to describe any sudden or abrupt event, abstracting the idea from its equine context to a broader application while maintaining the core notion of immediacy and unpredictability inherent in its compositional logic.
