No single inventor is supported; as of 2026-09-08, the trail is an evolving word tradition. In medieval 玉篇 material, its recorded job is naming a broad face; a Five Dynasties poem keeps that physical sense, while later classical usage applies 颟顸 to muddled speech. 顸 is simplified 頇; 颟/顢 is its partner in 颟顸/顢頇.
Neutral for a thick object; pointed criticism in 颟顸.
