choú , qiú · HSK 7
hatred
⚔️😤 choú sounds like CHEW — chew on your enmity, let it burn
Left side 亻(person) + right side 九 (nine). Nine people wronged you — thats a lot of grudges piling up into full-blown hatred.
仇 — person radical 亻 + 九 jiǔ
A semantic-phonetic compound: 亻 (person) gives the meaning—something between people—while 九 supplies the sound. Originally it meant a partner or match, then shifted to mean enemy or hatred (read chóu). Read qiú, it survives as a surname preserving the older 'mate/companion' sense.
