About
The word 沮丧 is formed by combining two characters, each contributing to the overall meaning of emotional dejection. 沮, which originally related to water being blocked or dampened, evokes the idea of something being stifled or weighed down, while 丧 conveys loss or mourning. Together, they create a vivid image of one's spirits being dampened or hindered by sorrow, thus encapsulating the sense of being disheartened or depressed.
