嗟慨 (the first character: fanqie 借 + 邪; the Mao Commentary on the Shijing states: "嗟 means to praise." The Erya states: "To sigh or exclaim." The Shuowen jiezi states: "Derived from 口 with 差 as phonetic." The second character: fanqie 開 + 愛; Zheng Xuan's subcommentary on the Shijing states: "慨 means to sigh." The Shuowen jiezi states: "忨慨 means a gallant person failing to attain his ambition; derived from 心 with 既 as phonetic." Or written with 气 as 愾; writing it with 口 as 嘅 is a vulgar character).
