The kanji 疲 is made of two parts: 疒 (sickness or tired body) and 皮 (skin). The left side, 疒, shows a person lying in bed — a sign of being weak or sick. The right side, 皮, means “skin.” Together, they paint the image of someone so tired that even their skin feels weak and heavy. From this picture came the meaning “to be tired,” “to be worn out,” or “to be exhausted.”
Made from 疒 (sick, weak) and 皮 (skin). It shows a body that feels weak and worn out — meaning tired or exhausted.
This kanji says: when the body (疒) and skin (皮) feel weak, you are tired — 疲 means to be worn out or exhausted.
