瞎
xiā
blind
groundlessly; foolishly; to no purpose
eye (目) + harm (害) = blind or acting blindly
害 originally meant harm or damage, so an eye that has been harmed is an eye that cannot see. The extended senses — acting blindly, foolishly, or without purpose — all flow from the idea of moving through the world without sight.
