About
The character 愦 combines the heart radical (忄) on the left, denoting a psychological state, with the phonetic component 贵 on the right (simplified from the traditional 憒, which uses 貴). It conveys a sense of mental confusion, muddlement, or dizziness, describing a lack of clarity in thought. This character typically appears in compounds that emphasize severe befuddlement or cognitive impairment, often used to describe disorientation or senility.
