About
狂 means madness, wildness, or extreme arrogance. It is a phono-semantic compound: the dog radical 犭 (quǎn) suggests uncontrolled animal behavior, originally referring to a rabid dog, and the phonetic 往 (wǎng) provides the sound (now simplified to 王). The sense broadened to describe irrational, unrestrained human conduct, and today 狂 also indicates intense enthusiasm, severe mental instability, or arrogant disregard for norms.
