About
The word 上瘾 is formed through a vivid conceptual metaphor. The character 上, meaning "to ascend" or "to get on", suggests the process of climbing into or onto a state. This combines with 瘾, meaning "addiction" or "compulsive craving", to visually create the idea of a person being drawn "up into" the grasp of an addiction, as if stepping onto a conveyer or ascending into a condition from which it is difficult to descend. It depicts addiction not as a static label, but as an active process of entering a consuming state.
