The Shuōwén Seal form of 疾(​􁐺) jí ‘illness/critical/urgent’ combines ​(​􁐹𤕫) nè ‘(tired/exhausted/sick) bed’, and ​(​􀹜) shǐ ‘arrow’ (phonosemantic); formerly wr. ​𥏴(​􁐻), in which the component ​𠥻(​􁐼) is an old form of the same character.
    Note: In 疾 the right-side component ​ shǐ ‘arrow’ functions as in ​(​􀹦) zhī ‘know/knowledge’: thoughts are quick/instant, knowledge is urgent/critical (XK); cf. ​/​.
    Note: The old form ​𥏴(​􁐻) of 疾 is like the old the form ​𥏼(​􀦇) of ​, differing in only ​𠥻(​􁐼) jí (疾) vs. ​(​􀦂𪞶) zì (​); the ​ ‘arrow’ comp. of ​(​􀹦) is trad. assoc. with 疾 (XK); for the old parts like ​(​􀵄𠮱), cf. ​(​􀴵), ​(​􀴾), ​(​􀴿).
    Older graphs associated with 疾 combine only ​ ‘arrow’ and ​ ‘big man’: the arrow has struck/wounded a warrior in battle; a ‘bed’ component is not included.
    Compare: ​(​􁐾) bìng, ​(​􁐽) tòng.
