The kanji 医医 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, けいせいいもじ). The left side is a simplified form of 酉 (とり), which originally represented a container for medicine or wine, and later was associated with the meaning of "alcohol" or "medicine." The right side is 矢 (や), meaning "arrow." The character's original form may have depicted a ritual arrow used for expelling evil spirits or illness, or possibly represented treatment through acupuncture or similar methods. Over time, the character evolved to represent medical treatment and healing.
