yíng

a glimmer

glimmering; twinkling; fluorescence; phosphorescence; perplexed; dazzled and confused; planet Mars (arch.)

plants (艹) + cover (冖) + fire (火) = a glimmering, half-hidden light

Fire (火) is the meaning anchor — a small, flickering flame half-hidden beneath a cover, as if glimmering through vegetation or mist. Together the components evoke that elusive, wavering glow.
