quán to recover (from illness)

Etymology

Made whole  after an illness  also provides the pronunciation

About

The character "痊" derives from a phono-semantic composition where the semantic radical 疒, indicating sickness, is coupled with the component 全, which primarily suggests pronunciation but also conveys the associated notion of completeness or wholeness, thus etymologically implying the restoration of health as a return to an intact state. This structural relationship has firmly anchored the character's meaning to the specific concept of recovery from illness, a focus maintained throughout its documented history in medical and literary contexts without substantial semantic drift or expansion. Its consistent application across classical and modern usage underscores a stable lexical function dedicated to denoting the process of healing and the conclusion of disease.
