暗
ㄢˋ · àn
adj — dark, dim; secret, hidden
字源 FORM — what the parts do
IFTyīn → àn — the reading shifts onset and rime
A sun (日) giving no light — that is dark. 音 yīn carries the sound, worn toward àn. From the lightless: 黑暗 darkness, and the figurative 暗中 in secret, 暗示 to hint — what is done out of the light.
故事 STORY — a scene to remember it by
雲把日頭整個遮死，原野一下子暗了。
The cloud blots the sun out whole, and the plain goes dark all at once.
