Origin and Formation

The kanji is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字 - keisei moji). The phonetic component is 又 (yū), meaning "again" or "also," and the semantic component is 廴 (innyō) or 尺 (shaku), which signifies "to measure" or "scale." The combination suggests the idea of repetition or the extent to which something is measured. The character likely evolved from earlier forms that depicted a hand measuring or gauging something.
