钥 🔊

网络内容摘要 (Web Content Summary):

“钥”（拼音：yào）是一个汉字，主要用作名词，原指门的直闩，是用来插在地上，用于关门的木棍。 “钥” (pinyin: yào) is a Chinese character mainly used as a noun. It originally referred to a vertical bar or bolt for locking doors.

• 核心含义：“钥”最早表示门闩（主要是竖插式），后来引申为“重要的地方”或“关键”，如“枢要、关键”。 Core meaning: “钥” originally means a door bolt, and was extended to mean “key point” or something important/critical.
• 起源与文化背景：在古代中国，不同地区对门闩有不同称呼：关东称为“键”，关西称为“钥”。 Etymology & culture: In ancient China, different regions used different words for the door bolt: it was called “键 jiàn” in the east, “钥 yào” in the west.
• 常用词与成语：现代汉语里，“钥”常与“锁”组成“钥匙”（key），实际意思已转为开启门锁的工具。相关词语：钥匙（key），枢钥（key point）。 Common words & idioms: Today, “钥” is mostly used in “钥匙” (key for locks). Related words: 钥匙 (key), 枢钥 (vital place/key point).
• 易混淆点：“钥”与“钥匙”的“钥”是同一个字，但古义和现代义不同。另与“键”（jian，door bar/bond/keyboard key）容易混淆。 Confusion note: The meaning of “钥” in “钥匙” (key) is different from its ancient meaning. It can be confused with “键” (jiàn, bar/key).

（部分古义已不常用，现代以“钥匙”最常见。） (Some ancient meanings are rare now; today “钥匙” is the most common usage.)
