About
The character 盲 functions as a phono-semantic compound, though its components also suggest a logical ideographic reading. The bottom radical 目 (mù), meaning "eye", provides the semantic category, while the top component 亡 (wáng), meaning "to lose" or "to die", contributes both phonetically and to the meaning. Together, "losing" the "eye" yields the literal definition: the state of being blind. This core meaning extends metaphorically to describe ignorance, a lack of understanding, or acting without independent judgment or verification.
