Etymology
About
The character 麕 (jūn) combines the semantic radical 鹿 (lù, deer), indicating its zoological classification, with the phonetic component 囷 (qūn). It was originally coined to denote a specific antlerless deer species, such as the roe deer or Chinese water deer. In ancient texts and poetry, 麕 often appears in descriptions of hunting, local fauna, and natural scenery. As a specialized term, it can also function as a variant of 麇 (jūn), meaning a herd of animals.
