辜負（上古枯反周禮辜戮之軄凡煞王之親者辜之鄭曰辜之言枯也說文辜罪也從辛古聲也經從手作𢪿謬也下浮武反顧野王云背恩忘德曰負說文負恃也上從人下從貝人守寶貝有所恃也一曰受貸不償故人下貝為負有從人作偩俗字）。

Fail [one's trust] [辜負] (The first character has the fanqie gu + ku [古枯反]. The Rites of Zhou says: "The duty of execution and quartering: whenever one slays a relative of the king, one quarters [辜] him." Zheng [Xuan] says: "Gu [辜] has the sense of dried up [枯]." The Shuowen jiezi says: "Gu means crime; derived from xin [辛] with gu [古] phonetic." In the sūtra it is written with the hand radical as 𢪿, which is erroneous. The second character has the fanqie fu + wu [浮武反]. Gu Yewang says: "Turning one's back on kindness and forgetting virtue is called fu [負]." The Shuowen jiezi says: "Fu means to rely on; the top derives from 'person' [人] and the bottom from 'cowrie' [貝]; a person guarding precious cowries has something to rely upon." Another explanation says: receiving a loan without repaying it, hence a person above cowries represents debt; there is also a popular character written with the person radical as 偩).
