Explanation of characters by Herbert A. Giles
| 作 |
Tso is composed of 人 jen man as radical, and 乍 cha which originally meant to stop, and now means suddenly, etc. It covers all kinds of doing and making, even to writing a book. [The Peking dialect, here as elsewhere, fails to exhibit the true phonetic. Cha should be tsa.] |
