繁体的“习”字的上半部,是一个“习”字,像小鸟的翅膀( )。而下半部( )原本是“日”字,后来变做“白”字。两部分合起来就是说鸟儿在太阳底太学飞。学习是需要重复练习的,所以后来“习”字又有了“习惯”的意思。

This is a very interesting character. The perceptive reader may have already noticed that the upper part of this non-simplified character is a ( ) which we have learned means “feathers” or “wings”. The lower part of the character ( )indicates the sun. The two parts together means a bird trying to learn how to fly under the sun and thus derives the meaning of “learn”.
