意愿
yìyuàn · HSK 6
desire
🌟 意 (idea/intent) + 愿 (wish) = your intent-wish, what you will to happen
The first character 意 means thought or intention, and 愿 means a wish or hope. Together they form the concept of a deliberate desire — not a passing fancy, but a willed inclination. Sounds like 'ee-ywen,' think: each yearn.
愿 — 原 (source) + 心 (heart)
A semantic-phonetic compound. The heart radical 心 carries the meaning of inner feeling or wish, while 原 (yuán, 'source/plain') supplies the sound. Together they depict a wish welling up from the heart, giving the senses 'to wish, to be willing'.
