Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character 竊
Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)
Small seal script

Ideogram (指事) - many (廿) termites (禼) taking grain (米) and hiding it in their nest (穴), hence the definitions "secretly", "stealthily", "to steal". In modern form, 米 looks like 釆 because 廿 has become one stroke and merged with 米.

  • chhiat - literary;
