次cì

Modern simplified form (簡體). 次 (cì) is identical in simplified and traditional — a phonosemantic compound of 'lack' (欠) and 'two' (二), originally indicating the second or the next in order. It serves as the radical in characters such as 姿 (graceful) and 资 (resources), and appears in words like 次数 (number of times) and 次序 (order).
