kuàng

to neglect

to skip (class or work); to waste (time); vast; loose-fitting

Sun (日) + open shelter (广) = vast, empty, and neglected

A vast open shelter lets the sun pour in unimpeded, suggesting wide, empty space. That sense of sprawling emptiness extends to wasted time and skipped duties — gaps where something should be but isn't.
