据悉
jù xī · HSK 7
according to reports
📰 据 = based on + 悉 = to know fully; 据悉 = based on what is known, i.e. reportedly
据 means to rely on or base something on; 悉 means to know thoroughly. Stuck together, 据悉 frames a sentence as based on the known facts, the formal news-report way to say it is reported that. Sounds like joo-shee.
据 — hand radical 扌 + 豦
据 combines the hand radical 扌 with the phonetic component 豦. Originally meaning to seize or grasp with the hand, it later extended to 'rely on' or 'according to.' In modern simplified Chinese, 据 also serves as the simplified form of 據, merging the two characters' meanings.
