+<WL>悬(F懸) [xuán] hang/suspend (悬挂); unresolved (悬而未决); worry (悬肠挂肚); cliff (悬崖)
-From 县(縣) xiàn (‘county’) over 心 (xīn) ‘heart’.
+The full-form character 懸 xuán ‘hang’ combines 縣(􁡣) xuán (phonosemantic), and 心 (xīn) ‘heart/feeling’.
-	县(縣) originally meant ‘hang’; it depicted a person’s head hanging upside down from a rope on a tree; now it is pronounced xiàn and means ‘county’. 心 (xīn) ‘heart’ was added to the character to convey the extended meaning ‘worry’, and now 悬(懸) with 心 (xīn) ‘heart’ added is also used for the basic meaning ‘hang’.
+	In the simple form 悬, the full-form component 縣 (with 県 and 系) is abbrev. to just 县, which is short for 県(􁡢𥄉), an old wr. of 縣.
+	Note: The component 心 ‘heart/feeling’ was added to 悬/懸 in order to specify 悬/懸 ‘be in suspense, worry’ (悬虑), but later 懸 was used to wr. the old meaning of its component 縣 xuán ‘hang/suspend’, which had come to be used for 县/縣 xiàn ‘county’.
+	Compare: 县/県(􁡢𥄉); 县/縣(􁡣); 悬/懸.
