嫉妒
jí dù · HSK 7
to envy
嫉 = 女 woman + 疾 sickness; 妒 = 女 woman + 户 door — envy is a sickness
Both halves start with the 女 woman radical. 嫉 pairs it with 疾 (sickness, illness) and 妒 with 户 (door, household): envy is the sickness that festers behind a closed door. The sound jí dù rhymes loosely with the English ill-due.
