Origin

Characters in this word

This origin belongs to the traditional form 評; 评 is its simplified writing.

The traditional form 評 uses 言 for speech and 平 as a sound part; the simplified 评 is a later shorthand.

The sound has drifted apartThe sound part was a clue two thousand years ago — it often still helps, but not always.

Traditional 會 pairs 合 (to meet) with 𡆧, an original form for ironware, to give the sound. The simplified 会 is a later shorthand, so its parts are not the original parts.
