About

The word 恶心 is formed by combining the character 恶 (è), which conveys a sense of badness, vileness, or loathsomeness, with 心 (xīn), meaning heart or mind. Together, they create a direct conceptual compound where a "vile or bad heart" metaphorically represents the physical sensation of nausea and the profound emotional feeling of disgust, as if something repulsive has struck at the very core of one's being.
