The kanji 忘忘 is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), a phono-semantic compound. The left side is a radical, and the right side is a phonetic component. The radical 亡 (bō/bō, meaning "die," "perish," or "lose") provides the semantic element, indicating the idea of disappearance or loss. The phonetic component 亡 (bō) is also used for its sound, suggesting the sound and meaning connection between the two characters in this kanji. Therefore, the kanji's meaning is derived from the concept of losing something or letting something disappear from the mind.
