瞒 — eye radical 目 + 㒼 (phonetic)
A semantic-phonetic compound. The 目 'eye' radical hints at the meaning, since deceiving someone often involves covering their eyes or vision. The right side 㒼 supplies the sound. The character came to mean 'to hide the truth' or 'deceive,' extending from the idea of obscured sight.
