Character Story & Explanation
懥 (zhì) is a rare character meaning 'enraged' or 'furious'. In modern Chinese, it appears mostly in classical texts and idioms. In a Beijing hutong, an old man might shout '懥矣！' when angered by a traffic jam, but you'd more likely hear '愤怒' (fènnù) in daily speech. The character combines 忄 (heart radical) and 疐 (zhì, 'to stumble'), suggesting anger that disrupts inner balance.
