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").
