About
The character 痴 (traditional: 癡) belongs to the sickness radical 疒, which encloses the character and signifies illness or a psychological condition. In its simplified form, the inner component 知 functions as the phonetic element and also means "to know", creating an ironic contrast. The traditional form uses 疑 ("doubt") as its phonetic-semantic component. Originally, 痴 described a state of mental deficiency or idiocy, but its meaning expanded to encompass intense infatuation, obsessive passion, or being utterly devoted to a pursuit or person.
