Origin of 眬

The character 眬 combines the eye radical 目 with the phonetic component 龙 (dragon). Dragons in Chinese lore are often surrounded by mist and clouds, so the eye seeing through that haze becomes dim-sighted or blurry.

💡 Memory Tip: Imagine a dragon (龙) with cloudy eyes (目) that can barely see through the mist—it's completely dim-sighted.
