医
yī
medical
medicine; doctor; to cure; to treat
enclosure (匸) + arrow (矢) = removing harm, the core of medicine
矢 means arrow, evoking the ancient practice of using arrows (and later surgical tools) to remove injury or disease. 匸 mainly shapes the enclosure and contributes to the sound; the arrow inside is what anchors the medical idea.
他去医院看病了。
tā qù yīyuàn kàn bìng le。

zhè zhǒng bìng hěn nán yī，xūyào hěn cháng shíjiān。
