赤(chì)
Origin:
“赤”字原来由“大”、“火”二字组成,因为火是红色的,所以“赤”的本义是“红色”,“赤”也有“无”“纯净”“裸露”的意思。
“赤” is composed of two characters: “大” (large) and “火” (fire). Because fire is red, that was the original meaning of “赤.” Today, it can also mean nothingness, purity, and nakedness.
Meaning:
red; loyal; sincere; bare
Words:
赤裸(chìluǒ): naked
赤字(chìzì): deficit
赤诚(chìchéng): absolute sincerity
赤手空拳(chì shǒu kōng quán): unarmed
