The Chinese character 误 (wù) is composed of two parts: 勿 (wù) and 戈 (gē). 勿 means "not" or "do not", while 戈 is a pictograph of a weapon, specifically a spear or halberd. Together, these two characters form the meaning of "mistake" or "error".The original meaning of 误 was "to injure or kill with a weapon". This meaning is still preserved in some modern Chinese idioms, such as 误伤 (wùshāng), which means "to injure by mistake". However, the most common meaning of 误 today is "to make a mistake" or "to be mistaken".The character 误 can also be used as a verb, meaning "to mislead" or "to deceive". For example, the phrase 误导 (wùdǎo) means "to mislead" or "to lead astray".The character 误 is a common character in Chinese, and it is used in a variety of contexts. It is important to understand the meaning and etymology of this character in order to fully understand the Chinese language.
