About
The character 嗔, structured with the mouth radical 口 alongside the component 真, derives from the notion of vocalizing displeasure, where 真 primarily functions as a phonetic indicator. Its core meaning has consistently pertained to anger or blame, often involving verbal reproach, yet it developed a specialized semantic layer in Buddhist philosophy, denoting hatred as one of the fundamental afflictions. The character's form has remained largely unchanged, maintaining this composition throughout its historical use.
