羡慕
xiàn mù · HSK 7
to envy
🐑 羡 = drool under a lamb (envy a tasty meal); 慕 = admire, with heart 心 at the base
羡 stacks the drool radical beneath 羊 lamb — coveting good food became coveting anything, so envy. 慕 sets 莫 atop the heart radical 㣺, a longing felt in the heart: to admire. Together: xiàn mù, envy and admiration.
