The kanji 譲 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). It is formed by the phonetic component 襄 (jō, meaning "to assist" or "to help"), which lends the sound, and the semantic component 言 (gon, meaning "speech" or "words"), which gives the meaning of the character. Thus, the original meaning of 譲 relates to a speech or a statement in which one gives up something to another. The character reflects the act of speaking with the aim of giving away or yielding something.
