🙅🗑️ 嫌 dislike + 弃 discard = dislike someone so much you discard them
嫌 carries the sense of distaste or suspicion; 弃 means to abandon or throw away. Put together, you dislike a person enough to cast them aside and turn your back on them.
嫌 — woman radical 女 + 兼 (combine, phonetic)
A semantic-phonetic compound: 女 (woman) suggests the meaning, while 兼 supplies the sound. The original sense related to suspicion or dislike, possibly tied to social judgments. Over time it broadened to mean 'to dislike,' 'to suspect,' or 'to find objectionable.'
