Origin

This character pairs a sound hint with a meaning component. The bottom part, heart/mind, represents the emotional weight and inner disturbance of mourning or aversion. The top part provides a sound hint for how to pronounce the character. Together they create a character for feelings tied to death and loss — the idea that grief and taboo live in the heart. The combination suggests how strong emotions around mourning settle into one's inner self.
