ㄨㄣ · wēn
adj — warm; gentle, mild

字源 FORM — what the parts do

water — what holds the warmth
wēn — gives the sounda vessel (皿) under what was once 日 or 囚 — the warmth half
Water (氵) at body heat — warm. The right side 昷 carries the sound wēn and a picture of warmth that comes down in two tellings: a vessel (皿) under the sun (日) heating up, or a bowl of food (皿) passed to someone shut in (囚) — warmth held, warmth given. From warm water comes the hot spring (溫泉), a mild temper (溫和), and a gentle warmth toward people (溫暖).

故事 STORY — a scene to remember it by

一盆水()剛好暖手,泡進去,整個人鬆下來。
A basin of water (氵) just warm enough for the hands — you sink them in and your whole body lets go.
