痿黃（痿於隹反考聲溼病也集訓云足不及也釋名云痿萎也如草木葉萎死於地也從疒委聲下胡光反爾雅云玄黃病也郭注云[虺-兀+兄][(虺-兀+兄)-虫+貴]玄黃皆人病之通名而說者便為馬病失其義也）。

痿黃 (wěi is y[ū] + zhu[ī] fanqie; the Kaosheng says: "A dampness disease." The Jixun says: "The feet cannot reach [the ground]." The Shiming says: "Wěi means wilting; like the leaves of grasses and trees wilting and dying on the ground." Composed with the sickness radical and wěi phonetic. The second character is h[ú] + gu[āng] fanqie; the Erya states: "Xuánhuáng is illness." Guo's commentary notes: "Huǐhuí and xuánhuáng are both general names for human ailments; commentators took them as horse illnesses, missing their meaning").
