About
The word 麻烦 is formed by combining two characters, each contributing a layer of meaning to create a unified concept. 麻 (má) originally refers to hemp or the prickling, tangled sensation it can cause, suggesting disorder or a coarse, irritating texture. 烦 (fán) carries the meaning of annoyance, vexation, or being bothered by something. When merged, the word visually and conceptually evokes the image and feeling of a tangled, prickly situation that causes annoyance, perfectly encapsulating the sense of a "bother" or "trouble".
