詳

It is a phono-semantic compound, composed of:

言 (“speech, words”) as the semantic element;

羊 (yang, “sheep”) as the phonetic element.

The combination conveys the sense of speech that is carefully laid out, explained in detail.

In modern Korean, 상 (詳) appears in words expressing detail, elaboration, or specificity:

상세 (詳細) – detailed, minute

상술 (詳述) – elaborate explanation

자상 (仔詳) – careful, attentive, considerate

상론 (詳論) – detailed discussion

Thus, 詳 consistently conveys the meaning of being thorough or precise, especially in writing, explanation, and analysis.
