Chinese character 驳

19572/20992

In Mandarin, 驳 sounds roughly like “bwoh” with a rising pitch; bó is its pinyin spelling, the Latin-letter way to write Mandarin sounds. It means “mottled” or “refute”; in 反驳 it answers a claim with objections, while cargo compounds use it for transferring goods. Alone, it needs context.

Text symbol

What 驳 means

It covers uneven color, rebuttal, and cargo transfer.

Oracle-bone writing—characters carved on bones for divination—shows a horse with a crossed coat pattern. Early classics—the Book of Songs, a poetry collection, and writings by philosopher Zhuangzi—use it for a mixed-colored horse. “Mixed” widened to mottled or confused things, then to rejecting an argument.
