Origin of 飚

The character 飚 combines the radical 风 (wind) with 猋 (three dogs running swiftly). 猋 conveys the idea of rapid motion, so together they depict a powerful, fast-moving wind—a whirlwind or gale.

💡 Memory Tip: Picture three dogs (猋) chasing each other in a circle, their spinning motion creating a fierce wind (风) that becomes a whirlwind.
