About
The character 馋, derived from its traditional form 饞, is a phono-semantic compound. Its left side features the food radical 饣, from 食, linking it to eating and appetite. The right side is the phonetic component 毚, which originally depicted a crafty rabbit but here only indicates pronunciation. 馋 fundamentally means gluttonous or having an insatiable craving for delicious food, a sense that has broadened to describe any intense, greedy desire for a coveted object or advantage.
