疫
yì
(bound form) epidemic; plague
illness (疒) + strike (殳) = epidemic that strikes many
疒 marks illness or disease, while 殳 (a hand holding a striking weapon) here likely plays a phonetic or reinforcing role — some scholars link it to the idea of being struck down. Together they evoke a sickness that spreads through a population like a blow.
