蜜
mì · HSK 7
honey
🍯🐝 蜜 = insect 虫 under a roof making sweet stores; mì sounds like 'me' wanting honey
The bottom radical 虫 means insect or bug, here the bee that produces honey. The mì sound rhymes with English me, a hook for the craving me-want-honey. Related to 蜂 mì's bee-cousin meaning wasp or bee.
蜜 — insect 虫 + 宓 (mì, phonetic)
蜜 is a semantic-phonetic compound. The 虫 component signals an insect (here, bees), while 宓 supplies the sound 'mì'. The character originally referred to honey produced by bees, and by extension came to mean sweetness.
