Character Of The Day

Kǒng. This is a character meaning fear, dread, or to terrify. It is comprised of 巩(gǒng) on the top, an older character that means to hold, and 心(xīn) on the bottom, that means heart. Makes sense. Let's take a look at some character combinations involving this character.

恐怖 – kǒngbù means terrifying or terror
恐吓 – kǒnghè means to threaten or to intimidate
恐慌 – kǒnghuāng means panic or panicky
恐惧症 – kǒngjùzhèng means phobia
恐龙 – kǒnglóng means dinosaur
惶恐 – huángkǒng means terrified

So, there you have it. Keep this character in mind when Halloween rolls around. Later.
