Etymology

Originally from a passage from the Liji (《禮記》) in the context of the proper rites of mourning: Gradually the phrase was taken out of its original context and became idiomatic, despite (prescriptionist) objections from classical scholars. For non-idiomatic usages, see the individual characters 猶, 子.
