Origin

The left side of this character, the eye radical (目), directly represents the action of blinking or winking — it's the body part involved. The right component (舜) acts as a sound hint, telling you roughly how to pronounce the character. Together they create a character that means the quick eye movements we make when we blink or when light sparkles — the eye doing something fast and momentary.
