Origin of 忭

忭 is a phono-semantic compound: the radical 忄 (heart, emotion of joy) combines with 卞 (biàn), which gives the sound, to form the character meaning 'delighted' or 'pleased'—a feeling bursting from the heart.

💡 Memory Tip: Imagine a heart (忄) is so delighted that it springs up like a bouncing ball, and the bouncing ball lands on a lid (卞) with a cheerful pop.
