The kanji 憤 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字 - keisei moji). It combines the semantic component 忄 or 心 (kokoro - heart, mind) on the left, which indicates the meaning of emotion, with the phonetic component 賁 (fun) on the right, which provides the sound. The component 賁 originally depicted a "flurry of activity or movement". Therefore, the combination conveys the idea of a heart or mind in a state of agitation or strong emotion, hence "anger" or "resentment".
