The kanji 爽爽 is a 会意形声文字 (かいいけいせいもじ) — a compound ideogram and phonetic character. It is composed of two parts: The left side is 爻 (kou) — which originally depicted crossed lines and may have indicated "mixed," "intertwined", or "to cross." The right side is 爿 (shou), which is a component meaning "wood" or "thing made of wood". 爿 is a variant of 木 (ki/moku - tree/wood). The meaning evolved to represent clearness and clarity, by combining the idea of things crossing with a wooden object (or something made with wood). The idea is that things can become clearer (like a clear view through the branches of a tree) or mixed (like a type of wood used to create it). The feeling can then be interpreted as "refreshing" or "invigorating."
