About
The character 厌, simplified from the traditional form 厭, originates from a depiction of a satiated dog. Its traditional structure combines the cliff radical 厂 with the component 猒, which itself shows a dog 犬 eating meat 月, originally meaning "to be fully satisfied" after eating. The simplified form keeps the radical 厂 but streamlines the interior to just 犬. Over time, the meaning evolved from satiety to a sense of weariness, boredom, or strong aversion, as being overly full can lead to disgust.
