About
嗔 is a phono-semantic compound with the mouth radical 口 on the left, associating it with vocalization or expression, and the phonetic component 真 on the right. It conveys feelings of displeasure or mild anger, often meaning to scold or express resentment. In Buddhist translations, it took on a specific philosophical sense as "klesha", one of the three primary mental afflictions, along with greed and ignorance, that obstruct enlightenment and bind beings to the cycle of suffering.
