About
The character 疼 is a phono-semantic compound primarily expressing physical pain or soreness. Its semantic radical 疒 (chuáng), the sickness radical, forms an outer enclosure indicating the meaning relates to illness or discomfort. The phonetic component 冬 (dōng, meaning "winter") inside provides the pronunciation without contributing to the sense of ailment. Beyond this physical meaning, 疼 has developed a secondary sense of deep affection or doting, metaphorically extending the idea of a pain or ache to the emotional intensity of caring for someone.
