喘
U+5598 "喘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to gasp" or "to pant," often associated with rapid or labored breathing due to exertion, illness, or strong emotion. It is composed of the radical "口" (mouth) on the left, indicating speech or breath, and the phonetic component "耑" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation. In modern Chinese, "喘" is commonly used in words like "喘气" (to breathe heavily) and "喘息" (to catch one's breath), and it can also carry figurative meanings related to taking a brief respite or struggling under pressure.
