灭 🔊

网络内容摘要 (Web Content Summary):

核心含义与字源：“灭”（拼音：miè）是常用汉字，最早出现于甲骨文，古字写作“烕”。该字本义为“消失”、“熄灭”、“使终结”，例如火焰熄灭。后来的字形在旁加“氵”表示与水有关，简化为现代的“灭”。 Core Meaning & Origin: "灭" (pinyin: miè) is a common Chinese character. It first appeared in Oracle Bone inscriptions, originally written as "烕". Its basic meaning is "to extinguish," "to make disappear," or "to end," such as extinguishing a fire. The radical "氵" was later added to indicate a connection with water, then simplified to "灭" in modern script.

字形演变与构造：“灭”属于形声兼会意字，从“水”意指灭火或淹没，与水相关；"烕"作声旁，兼带“灭火”的含义。 Evolution & Structure: "灭" is a phono-semantic and ideographic character. The "water" radical implies actions like putting out fire or submerging, while the "烕" part provides sound and meaning related to extinguishing.

• 常用词语： 如“灭火”(to extinguish a fire)、“灭亡”(to perish, to be destroyed)、“消灭”(to eliminate)等。 Common collocations: Such as “灭火” (to put out a fire), “灭亡” (to perish), and “消灭” (to eliminate).

• 易混淆点： “灭”与“灭顶”（指被水淹没到头顶，引申为灾难灭顶）等词需注意具体语境。“灭”与“尽”、“绝”等词有相近义，但强调“消失、终止”。 Potential confusion: "灭" in words like “灭顶” (literally "submerged over the head," extended to mean disaster) shows different uses depending on context. It is similar but not identical to words like “尽” (to exhaust) and “绝” (to cut off), but "灭" emphasizes making something vanish or end.

文化小知识： 关于“灭”，《说文解字》释义为“尽也”，《尔雅》释“绝也”，都指彻底失去的状态。在历史和成语中常用于描写消亡、毁灭等重大的改变。 Cultural note: In ancient dictionaries, “灭” means "to exhaust" or "to terminate." In history and idioms, it often describes the destruction or disappearance of something significant.
