萎悴(上委為反集訓云草木黃死曰萎字書云蔫菸也下情遂反文字集略萎悴懷憂慘戚皃也並形聲字也上從草下從心)。
Withered and emaciated (萎悴) (The upper character is wei + wei fan. The Jixun states: "When plants turn yellow and die, it is called 萎." The Zishu states: "Withered and dried." The lower character is qing + sui fan. The Wenzi jilüe states: "萎悴 means a grieving and distressed appearance." Both are phono-semantic characters; the former is composed with 'grass' [草] semantic, the latter with 'heart' [心] semantic).
