[(餐-食)-又+芺]逝（又作夭同於矯反說文夭屈也廣雅夭折也釋名云少壯而死曰夭如取物中夭折也不盡天年謂之夭取其義逝往也）。

Dying young ([(餐-食)-又+芺]逝: also written 夭; both have the fanqie 於 + 矯 [yǎo]. The Shuowen says: '夭 means bent down.' The Guangya says: '夭 means broken prematurely.' The Shiming states: 'To die in youth or prime is called 夭, like taking something and breaking it midway. Not fulfilling one's natural lifespan is called 夭; taking this sense, 逝 means to pass away).
