The kanji 伝伝 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字; keisei moji). It is composed of two parts: the radical 人 (nin/hito), meaning "person," on the left side, and the phonetic component 専 (sen), which contributes to the sound and has a meaning related to focusing or concentrating. The original meaning of 伝伝 likely referred to passing information from one person to another, reflecting the "person" radical combined with the idea of focused transfer from the phonetic component. Over time, the character has broadened to encompass the various meanings of transmission and communication.
