亡
ㄨㄤˊ · wáng
verb — to flee; to lose; to die, perish
字源 FORM — what the parts do
亡形a person bending into a hidden corner — fleeing out of sight
A figure ducking behind a screen, out of sight — to run off and vanish. From fleeing comes losing (what runs off, you no longer have) and then dying (亡 the final going). As a sound it carries 忘 forget and 忙 busy.
故事 STORY — a scene to remember it by
人一彎身，閃進牆角——轉眼不見了。
The figure bends, slips behind the corner — and in a blink is gone.
