Etymology
About
飰 is a phono-semantic compound and a historical variant of the common character 飯. It combines the semantic food radical 食 on the left, which places it in the domain of meals, with a phonetic component on the right. Like its standard counterpart, it originally meant cooked grains, especially rice, the staple food of ancient times. The meaning later broadened to refer to meals in general or the act of eating. This variant form eventually fell out of use, with 飯 becoming the standard character for these concepts.
