About
瞒 (mán) is a phono-semantic compound. Its semantic radical 目 (mù, eye) indicates the original meaning related to vision, while 㒼 (mán) provides the pronunciation. In its traditional form 瞞, the character initially described physical eye conditions such as dim or blurred vision, or having half-closed eyes that obstruct clear sight. This concrete sense of impaired sight later evolved metaphorically to mean the intentional concealment of truth or the act of deceiving someone by hiding information.
