    HDC: ​從 : ​, ​; ​, ​
(Explanation from the entry for the simple form ​:) The simple-form character ​ (4 strokes) is a component in (and old form of) the full-form character 從 (11 strokes); today the full form 從 is replaced everywhere in simple-form texts by ​.
    The full-form character 從 (11 strokes) is a re-arrangement of the older form ​𨑢 (11 strokes); in the modern form 從 the old component ​ is split into its two parts ​ (short for ​) and ​; ​ is placed to the left, and ​ is placed atop ​ at the right (從⿰​⿱​).
    Note: The full-form character 從 was created to specify certain meanings of the older character ​; the two characters 從 and ​ have separate origins and rather different usage (see below).
    The Shuōwén Seal form of ​(​􁙟) cóng ‘follow/heed’ (​) doubles ​(​􁕎) rén ‘person (facing left/east)’; one weaker/subordinate person heeds/follows behind another stronger/leader (one heeds another, one follows after another).
    Note: In the SW gloss ​ (​ ‘follow/heed/obey, listen/hear and comply with’); ​(​􀥄) xiāng ‘mutual/reciprocal (relation); (unequal/lopsided) relation’; cf. 從, ​從 (HDC).
    Compare: ​(​􂧐) hài, in which the two people of ​(​􁙟) are a couple (man and woman, husband and wife); the bride follows her suitor to their home.
    Note: ​(​􁙟) cóng ‘follow/heed’ is the reverse of ​(​􁙢) bǐ ‘compare/compete’; cf. ​(​􁙕) bǐ ‘person (facing right/west)’.
    The Shuōwén Seal form of 從(​􁙠𨑢) cóng ‘follow/accompany’ (​, ​) combines ​(​􀒆) chuò ‘go’, and ​(​􁙟) cóng ‘follow/heed’ (phonosemantic); formerly wr. ​.
    Note: The character 從 was created to specify ‘accompany’ senses formerly wr. ​, but later 從 replaced the older form ​; finally (coming full circle) ​ replaces 從 in simple-form texts.
    Note: Different SW editions use ​ or 從 in glosses to introduce the component analyses: e.g., in the ​ Xú Kǎi (late Tang) SW text, the structure of the character ​ is explained as “從​” ‘comprised of two ​ rén 'people' together’; but in the later ​ Xú Xuàn (Song) SW text, the analysis of ​ is given as “​”.
    Note: SW usage of ​/從 to introduce the list of components derives from the fact that characters classified under a given SW radical follow after (are listed under) that radical/component (cf. ​, ​); this usage is a generalization (from radical to component), since not every component is a radical/classifier (some components do not serve as lexical classifiers/radicals).
    Compare: ​(​􂋊) rú ‘follow/obey; like/similar’, SW syn. 從 (​); characters containing a given component are similar in this respect to the component.
    Note: ​ cóng ‘heed, listen to (one) another; be close kin/friends; together/associate/accompany; comply/obey’; 從 cóng ‘follow/accompany’.
    Compare: ​/​(​􀝈) cóng ‘gather/collect’, ​(​􁙫􁙬𥅫) zhòng ‘crowd’, ​(​􁙭) jù ‘gather’; see also: ​(​􁚂), ​(​􁛸), ​(​􁉹𣃨).
    Note: Today read ​ cóng (even in ​ cóngróng ‘calm’, the modern standard reading); except, ​ hēicōngcōng ‘murky’ (many characters have 1st tone in reduplication).
    HDZ: ​ : cf. 從
