含义与用法 (Meanings & Usage)

中文核心释义 (Core Chinese Meaning): 形状，外表，样子

英文核心释义 (Core English Meaning): shape, form, appearance

“形”常用于描述事物的外在形态，如‘形状’、‘形式’等。在现代汉语中多与‘状’、‘态’等词组成合成词，也可单用表示外观特征。 In modern Chinese, '形' is commonly used to describe the external form or appearance of things, as in words like '形状' (shape/form) and '形式' (form/pattern). It often appears in compound words with '状' or '态', but can also be used alone to denote physical features.

象形意义 / 为何这么写 (Pictographic Meaning / Writing Rationale)

“形”的本义是人的形体，甲骨文字形像一个人的身体，旁有辅助的线条。演变后下方的“彡”表示毛发、纹理或轮廓，上方“开”提示身体或外壳，合起来表达‘外部形态’之意。The original meaning of '形' is the human body. Its earliest form resembles a human body with auxiliary lines. In later forms, the lower part '彡' suggests hair, patterns, or contours, while the upper '开' hints at a body or shell. Together, they convey the sense of 'external form' or 'shape'.

文言文释义 (Classical Chinese Meaning)

与现代意义相近，主要指事物的外形、样子，有时引申为假象或表象。Similar to modern meaning; mainly refers to the appearance or shape of things, and sometimes extended to mean semblance or outward show.
