fàn

to violate

to offend; to assault; criminal; crime; to make a mistake; recurrence (of mistake or sth bad)

dog (犭) + sound (㔾) = to violate or offend

The dog radical evokes the animalistic impulse to transgress or attack. 㔾 mainly contributes the fàn sound; the aggressive instinct lives in the left side.
