The Shuōwén Seal form of 军/軍(𠣞) jūn | The Shuōwén Seal form of 军/軍(𠣞) jūn ‘surround; army/unit (of 4,000 men)’ combines 包() bāo (as in 包围 ‘surround/encircle’) abbreviated to 勹() bāo, and 车/車 (chē) ‘war chariot’; in the modern form 軍 the old component 勹 is abbreviated as 冖. | ||
Note | Note: 勹() is a variant of 人() rén ‘person’, written so as to enfold/surround something (as in 包 bāo ‘wrap/enclose’); hence the old/primary meaning 軍 jūn ‘surround’ (simultaneous head-on and flank military assault, to surround/annihilate the enemy, which requires a large force). | ||
