鄙
bǐ
rustic
low; base; mean; to despise; to scorn
Village outpost (阝) + sound (啚) = rustic, base, despised
阝 here is the right-hand village radical, grounding the character in a remote settlement. 啚 gives the sound bǐ; the village radical carries the sense of a far-flung, humble place — and from there, the idea of baseness or contempt.
啚An old character sometimes associated with stinginessPhonetic
阝The right-hand form of 邑Semantic
