About
The character "忿" is constructed from the semantic component "心" (heart/mind) positioned beneath the phonetic component "分" (to divide), a structure which visually suggests a state of mental division or agitation. Its core meaning has consistently related to anger, but with a specific connotation of anger born from indignation, resentment, or a sense of perceived injustice, implying an internal heat that is held or contained rather than explosively released. Over time, while its fundamental sense remains, its usage has become somewhat more literary and narrowed, often specifically denoting this kind of resentful anger, distinguishing it from more general or instantaneous terms for rage.
