豁达
huò dá · HSK 7
optimistic
😌 豁 (open/clear) + 达 (reach) = an open-reaching mind that takes things in stride
豁 means open or cleared-out (as in a wide mountain pass); 达 means to reach or get through. Together: a mind so open that troubles pass right through it — optimistic, big-hearted, magnanimous.
豁 — valley 谷 + harm 害 (phonetic)
A phono-semantic compound: 谷 (valley) gives the meaning of an open, hollow space, while 害 supplies the sound. The original sense was a wide, opening valley, which extended to ideas of openness, clearing away, and being open-minded. The reading huō reflects sudden opening (as in 豁出去), while huò appears in 豁达 'open-hearted'.
