The word "迷惘" is formed by combining the characters "迷" and "惘". "迷" consists of the radical "辶" (indicating movement) and the phonetic component "米" (mǐ), conveying the idea of being lost or bewildered. "惘" consists of the radical "忄" (indicating mind) and the phonetic component "罔" (wǎng), conveying the idea of perplexity. Together, these characters create a compound word meaning a state of confusion or being at a loss.
