    Origin

    The phrase is composed of four characters. 感 means to move, affect, touch, or arouse; it contains the semantic component 心 (heart) and the phonetic component 咸 (all; completely). 同 means same or identical; it is the simplified form of 衕 (passageway; lane; alley), which features the semantic component 行 (to walk) and the phonetic component 同 (same; identical). The character 行 is formed from 彳 (to walk slowly) and 亍 (to stop; to stand still).

    身 means body, and 受 means to receive or to accept. The character 受 is formed with the components 爪 (claw; talon; paw; nail), 舟 (boat), and 又 (again; once more).

    此成語由四個漢字組成。「感」字包含表示意義的心部，以及表示聲音的咸部，其意為感動、影響、觸動或激起。「同」字是「衕」字的簡化形式，而「衕」字由表示意義的行部與表示聲音的同部組成，行部本身包含彳與亍兩個部分，意指通道或小巷。「身」指身體。「受」字則由爪、舟、又三個部分組成，意為接受或領受。
