魅
mèi
demon
magic; to charm
ghost (鬼) + not yet (未) = demon that charms from the unseen
未 originally depicted a tree with extra branches at the top, suggesting something not yet fully revealed — hidden, obscure. A ghost lurking in that unresolved shadow becomes something that bewitches and enchants.
