The word "照顾" is formed by combining the characters "照" and "顾". "照" is constructed from "昭" (meaning bright or clear) above the fire radical "灬", evoking the idea of light shining down to illuminate or watch over something. "顾" incorporates the radical "頁" (associated with the head or face) alongside "厄", suggesting turning to look back or attend to someone. Together, they visually and conceptually merge the notions of illuminating with attention and turning one's focus toward, encapsulating the meaning of attentively looking after or taking care of someone.
