特
- special, exceptional, distinguished;
Etymology
Phono-semantic compound:
牛 (소 우, “ox”) — semantic, originally relating to cattle.
寺 (절 사, “temple”) — phonetic, providing the sound 특.
The graph originally suggested a sacrificial or temple-related ox, symbolizing something set apart or distinguished. From this, the meaning shifted to “special, particular.”
