不
[[Translingual]]
[Etymology]
Ideogram (指事) 不 originated as a pictographic character which depicted the calyx of a flower. However, early inventors of the Chinese writing system found it difficult to find a pictograph that could represent the abstract concept of "negative," and 不 probably sounded like the word "no" (Pinyin: bù or fǒu in modern Mandarin). As time passed, some elected to add a mouth to the bottom of the character (否) in order to distinguish it from the original word. The meaning for "no" also came to be associated with 不(calyx). A new character was eventually chosen to represent the original meaning (柎, Pinyin: fū).
