时髦
shí máo · HSK 7
fashionable
🕶️ 时 (the times/era) + 髦 (a dashing tuft of hair) = fitting the current era's style = fashionable
时 means current era or the times; 髦 originally named the long hair hanging over a child's brow and grew to mean dashing or outstanding. Together: hair styled to the moment, i.e. in vogue.
时 — sun 日 + temple/measure 寺
Originally a phono-semantic compound: 日 (sun) gives the meaning of time or season, while 寺 (shí) supplies the sound. Early forms used 之 as the phonetic before 寺 replaced it. The core sense 'season, time, hour' has stayed stable since ancient Chinese.
