Like nightmare (ruyan 如厭; pronounced [yi + yan] /yàn/: The Ziyuan says: 'An inauspicious event during sleep.' The Cangjiepian says: 'Subduing and pressing upon a person's heart/mind is called yan.' The Shuowen says: 'Yan means to match or press down.' The character is derived from the cliff radical (厂) with yan (猒) as the phonetic; cliff (厂) is pronounced han).
