The kanji 脅脅 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). The left side is a part of the character 月(tsuki), or "flesh" (indicating a body part). The right side is 劦, which represents "to unite strength," or "to work together" (sometimes interpreted as "strength" or "force"). Combined, the character originally depicted a person being threatened or compelled, possibly by physical force or intimidation. Over time, the meaning evolved to more broadly encompass the idea of threat.
