幻
幻 ＝ 幺 ＋ 予
ㄏㄨㄢˋ · huàn
noun/adj — an illusion; illusory, magical
字源 FORM — what the parts do
幺形a tiny twist of thread — rendered bare
A fine thread (幺) drawn backward, against its grain — the everyday turned the wrong way round, into something that isn't there: an illusion. The reversed element has no settled picture, so it stands bare. From the unreal: 幻覺、幻想、幻滅.
故事 STORY — a scene to remember it by
一縷細絲（幺）反過來一抽，眼前的東西就散了，原來是假的。
A fine thread (幺) pulled backward, and the thing before the eyes scatters — it was never real.
