The kanji 慣 慣 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). It combines two parts: ⚫︎ The semantic component is 忄 (りっしんべん, risshinben), which is a simplified form of 心 (kokoro), meaning "heart" or "mind," indicating a connection to emotions and mental processes. ⚫︎ The phonetic component is 貫 (kan), which originally meant "to pierce through" or "to go through."
