嫉
jí
jealousy
to be jealous of
woman (女) + illness (疾) = jealousy that festers like a disease
疾 originally meant illness or swift harm — here it captures how jealousy strikes like a sudden sickness. The 女 radical reflects the ancient scribal habit of encoding social tensions through the female radical, not a commentary on women themselves.
