The kanji 幼幼 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字 - keisei moji). The left side is the radical 幺 (yāo), meaning "small" or "slender," and can also suggest the concept of "young" or "tender". The right side is 力 (ryoku), meaning "power" or "strength". The original meaning of 幼幼 combined these elements to depict "a young child who is not strong enough". Over time, it developed the broader meaning of "childhood" and "young."
