<WL>虞 [yú] (书) guess/predict/expect/prepare (不虞 ‘unexpected’); anxiety (忧虑, 忧患); 诈虞 deceive (欺诈)@@; (HDZ:) (兽名) 騶虞; 猜度, 料想; …; 虞舜; (古国名); (姓)
From 虍(hǔ) ‘tiger’ and 吴 wú phonetic.
The character 虞(􀵰) yú ‘legendary animal’ (騶虞) combines 虍(􀵯􀵻虎) ‘tiger’ (abbrev.), and 吴/吳(􁰢) ‘throw one's head back and yell’ (phonosemantic): seeing the beast, a man yells in fear/surprise/joy, at not being eaten.
(There does not seem to be a corresponding form in Unicode with 吳 in place of 吴.)
Note: 騶虞/吾 was the name of a legendary benevolent/auspicious animal, a white tiger with black spots and tail longer than its body, which out of compassion/respect for other animals (natural sense of justice) would not kill, but only ate carrion (the flesh of animals which had died natural/peaceful deaths); cf. (山海经) 騶吾; 虞 also wr. the name of the legendary sage/emperor 虞舜 Yú Shùn (姚重华), so-named after his capital city 虞国.
Compare: 误/誤(􀛀) wù ‘mistake/error’; 娱/娛(􂋀) yú ‘amusement/pleasure’; cf. /吳.
