About
虑 is a phono-semantic compound. Its traditional form, 慮, has the semantic radical 心 (heart) at the bottom and a complex phonetic component above that suggests a tiger's head pattern. The simplified form 虑 retains the heart radical at the bottom but reduces the upper phonetic component to 虍. The heart radical places the character in the semantic field of mental and emotional states. Its core meaning is deep thinking, careful consideration, and planning, which naturally extends to feelings of worry, anxiety, and concern about future outcomes.
