to swarm (of insects)
Etymology
About
翃 combines the semantic radical 羽 (feather/wing) on the left, linking it to birds or flight, with the phonetic component 宏 on the right. It primarily denotes the motion of a swarm of insects flying or the act of soaring aloft. While it evokes dynamic aerial movement, this character has remained uncommon in standard vocabulary, appearing mainly in classical literary contexts to paint vivid imagery of swarming or ascending motion rather than for ordinary descriptions of flight.
