About
The traditional character "憤" is structured with the heart radical "心" at its base, indicating its association with internal emotions, and the phonetic component "賁" above it, which historically contributed to its sound. In the simplified form "愤", the top component is altered to "贲" while retaining the heart radical below. Originally conveying a broad sense of emotional agitation or upset, the character's meaning gradually specialized to denote more specific states of anger, indignation, or resentment, reflecting a shift from general arousal to focused emotional response in literary and common usage.
