About
惰 is a phono-semantic compound that combines the vertical heart radical 忄 on the left with the component 隋 on the right. The heart radical indicates that the character's meaning involves human emotions, psychological states, or attitudes, while 隋 serves as the phonetic component. Its primary meaning is laziness, idleness, or a lack of motivation to exert physical or mental effort. The character frequently appears in compound words to describe a sluggish person or the mechanical inertia of an object, expressing a general resistance to activity, movement, or positive change.
