gaze
👁️ 目光 = 目 (eye) + 光 (light)
目 means eye and 光 means light or ray; together the eye's light is one's gaze or line of sight. The same 目 appears in 目标 (target) and 光 in 阳光 (sunshine).
光 — fire 火 (top) + person 儿 (bottom)
Originally a pictograph of a person with fire above their head, depicting a torchbearer or the radiance from a flame. The character evolved to mean 'light' or 'brightness' in general, and by extension 'glory' and 'to shine.' The modern top component is a stylized form of 火 (fire).
