About
Composed of the heart radical and the phonetic component "罔", the character "惘" originally conveyed a mind entangled or at a loss, with "罔" implying a net-like negation or absence. Its meaning gradually narrowed from a broad sense of bewilderment to describe a particular kind of frustrated disappointment, a transition evident in classical texts where it often modifies states of confusion with an emotional weight. The integrity of its construction has been maintained, preserving the link between its form and the psychological dimensions it denotes.
