匆忙

Etymology · 词源

“匆”是“悤”的通行变体，不能只按今天的笔画解释。“悤”从囪、从心，囪也兼有表音作用，早期表示急迫、忙乱。 “忙”的历史构形可以这样理解：忄主要提示意义范围；亡主要提示较早的读音。这些部件的作用依据历史字形判断，不等同于今天看到的任意笔画组合。 以上是各字的历史构形说明；“匆忙”作为现代词语时，应结合完整词义学习，不能把单字意义机械相加。

匆 is a conventional variant of 悤, which combines 囪 with 心; 囪 also supplies a sound clue. It historically expressed haste or agitation. Phonosemantic compound. 忄 represents the meaning and 亡 represents the sound. These notes explain the characters’ formation.
