馋
chán
gluttonous
greedy; to have a craving
food (饣) + rabbit (兔) = mouth-watering greed
The food radical anchors the meaning of craving, while 兔 (rabbit) likely contributes phonetically to the chán sound rather than adding a story about hungry rabbits. Together they paint a character about irresistible appetite.

kàn dào dàn gāo，wǒ jiù chán le。
