to insult

to ridicule; to disgrace

person (亻) + every (每) = insulting someone at every turn

每 (měi) primarily gives the sound wǔ here; the person radical carries the meaning, suggesting one human acting to demean another. The sense of repeated or habitual slight may echo faintly in 每's 'every' meaning, but its main role is phonetic.
