About

The word "嫉妒" is formed by combining two characters, each featuring the "女" (woman) radical. "嫉" incorporates "疾" as a phonetic component that also suggests a painful or sickly connotation, while "妒" uses "户" primarily for its sound. Together, these characters create a compound word where both elements contribute to the meaning of jealousy or envy.
