伤残

🩼 伤 wound + 残 broken-remnant = injured to the point of lasting damage
伤 is a wound or injury; 残 means incomplete or left-over (the same 残 as 残缺, broken-and-missing). Together: harmed badly enough to leave a permanent defect — disabled or maimed, or for objects, damaged goods.
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.'
残 — 歹 (bones/death) + 戔 (small/cut, phonetic)
A semantic-phonetic compound: 歹 (bare bones, death) gives the meaning of harm or ruin, while 戔 (two 戈 spears, suggesting cutting) supplies the sound. Originally meant to injure or destroy, later extended to 'remnant, leftover' — what remains after damage.
