Character Story & Explanation
厮 (sī) means 'together' or 'each other', often used in literary contexts to describe mutual action. It appears in phrases like 厮杀 (to fight together) and 厮守 (to stay together). Its radical 厂 (cliff) hints at a shelter where people gather. Unlike Western 'mutual' (e.g., 'mutual respect'), 厮 implies a close, often intense togetherness, like shared struggle or companionship.
