About
痒, the simplified form of the traditional character 癢, is built on the sickness radical 疒, which frames the character to indicate a physical ailment. Inside, the component 羊 provides the phonetic sound, while the traditional version uses 養 for this purpose. The character primarily means the irritating skin sensation that provokes a desire to scratch. Figuratively, it describes a restless urge or strong inner longing to do something.
