The kanji 暗暗 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). It is composed of two parts: ⚫︎The radical 日 (hi, -nichi) which means "sun" or "day." This provides the semantic component, hinting at something related to light or the absence of it. ⚫︎The phonetic component 音 (on) which means "sound." It contributes the pronunciation. The combination suggests a situation where the "sound" is not clearly visible because of darkness. The entire character suggests a situation where there is no light (from 日), making everything obscure.
