Hoping (希望; Shuowen writes 晞, the same; fanqie x- [虗] + -y- [依]; xi (晞) means to gaze (望); between the sea and Mount Dai it is called xi (晞); Guangya: xi (晞) means to watch; the second character has the fanqie w- [無] + -f- [方]; Shuowen: "To go out and live abroad, and gaze hoping for his return"; the character is derived from wàng (朢) as an abbreviated phonetic component; if read with the fanqie w- [無] + -f- [放], Shuowen says: "The full moon facing the sun"; the character is derived from yuè (月, moon); but people often do not distinguish the pronunciation and form of this character, hence writing it with yuè (月) without discerning these two explanations).
