哽噎（哽加杏反說文曰哽謂食肉亭骨在喉內也悲憂咽塞者似其亭骨在喉故借喻言耳）。

哽噎 [Choked with grief] (哽 is pronounced 加 [jiā] + 杏 [xìng] fanqie [gěng]. The Shuowen states: '哽 refers to a bone sticking in the throat when eating meat.' When grief and sorrow choke the throat, it is like a bone stuck in the throat, hence it is used as a metaphor).
