HDZ: 應 : yīng : 应当, 应该; 是; (副词) (很快, 立即; 恐, 恐怕); (古国名); (姓) • yìng : 受, 接受; 应允, 承诺; 应声回答; 应和, 响应; 适应, 适合; 应付, 对付 (应变, 应急); 支付, 供给; 应验; 迎击; 小鼓; (乐器名)
(Explanation from the entry for the simple form 应:) The simple-form character 应 (7 strokes) is an abbrev. of the full-form character 應 (17 strokes), keeping the outer full-form part 广 (3 strokes), but replacing the inner parts with the shape (4 strokes).
Note: The simple form 应 derives from old intermediary forms such as 𢇭, and 応 (omitting 倠); the shape also occurs in unrelated simple forms: 佥/僉, 兴/興, 举/舉.
The full-form character 應 is itself an abbrev. of older forms such as 𤻮 (19 strokes), replacing the old upper component 𤸰 (15 strokes) with a variant form 䧹 (13 strokes).
Note: 应 ← 𢇭 ← 応 ← 應 ← 𤻮; the top of the full form 應 is the same as the top of 鹰/鷹, and involves the same substitution of 䧹 for 𤸰 in the older forms (see below).
The Shuōwén Seal form of 应/應(𤻮) yīng/yìng ‘should/answer’ combines 心 (xīn) ‘heart/feeling’, and 𨿳() yīng ‘hawk/falcon’ (phonosemantic): the falcon answers the falconer, replying with its cry and returning with its prey (as it ought).
Compare: 鹰/鷹(𪇿𤼡) yīng ‘hawk/falcon’, formerly wr. 𨿳(), in which the component is 瘖() yīn ‘hoarse voice/cry’ (phonosemantic).
