伤势
shāng shì · HSK 7
condition of an injury
🤕 伤 wound + 势 situation = how bad the wound situation is
伤 is injury or wound; 势 is the situation or state of things (same 势 as in 形势, situation). Together: the state of an injury, i.e. how serious it is and how it's developing.
伤 — person radical 亻 + 㿝 (phonetic)
伤 is the simplified form of 傷. It combines the person radical 亻, indicating a human being affected, with a phonetic component derived from 昜. The original sense was a wound or injury to a person, which extended to mean 'to hurt,' 'injury,' and figuratively 'to grieve' or 'sorrow.'
