widely different

⚖️ 悬 hang/suspend + 殊 different = two sides hanging far apart, a wide gap

悬 — heart radical 心 (bottom) + 县 (xiàn, hang/county)
Originally written 懸, a phono-semantic compound: 心 (heart) gives the meaning of mental hanging or worry, while 縣 (county, originally depicting a head hung from a tree) supplied the sound. The simplified form 悬 keeps 心 below 县. Core sense: to hang, suspend; extended to 'pending, unresolved, anxious.'
