Traditional Chinese Character: Evolution
All Chinese characters contain component characters with their own meaning. By studying the component characters, I am able to contemplate the meaning of the term “evolution” (for just one example) in a deeper way, possibly even seeing it and understanding it in a new way.
The character 繼（ㄐㄧˋ） means to continue.
繼 at moedict.
Evolution of 繼.
繼（ㄐㄧˋ）續（ㄒㄩˋ） – to continue
繼（ㄐㄧˋ）承（ㄔㄥˊ） – to inherit
繼（ㄐㄧˋ）而（ㄦˊ） – afterwards
