醫（於其反說文治病工也醫之為性得酒而使藥故醫字從酉殹聲殹亦病人聲也酒所以治病者藥非酒不散殹音於奚反有作殹古者巫彭初作毉從巫形俗字也）。

醫 (Physician; yú-qí fanqie [yī]. The Shuowen says: "A master who cures illness. Since the nature of a physician involves using alcohol (yǒu) to administer medicine, the character yī is composed of the radical yǒu (wine) with the phonetic yì; yì is also the groaning sound made by a sick person. Wine is used to cure illness because medicines cannot disperse without wine." 殹 is pronounced yú-xī fanqie [yī]. Some write 殹; in antiquity, the shaman Peng first created the character 毉, derived from the radical wū (shaman), which is a vulgar character).
