About
The character "馋", denoting gluttony or craving, originates from the traditional form "饞" which integrates the food radical "食" with the component "毚" serving as a phonetic element that also subtly conveys notions of greed or cunning. Over time, its core meaning of an excessive desire for food has remained consistent, though it has occasionally expanded to describe intense longings in non-culinary contexts. The structural simplification to "馋" preserved the semantic connection to eating through the abbreviated radical "饣" while substituting the complex "毚" with a graphically simpler component, thus refining the character's form without altering its essential significance.
