愚
stupid
愚 is composed of 禺 (image) and 心 (heart). 禺 is a pictograph of a human figure, while 心 represents thought or thinking. Therefore, 愚 conveys the idea of the thoughts of a human figure. Although a human figure has the form of a person, it has no brain. From this, 愚 came to mean foolish, stupid, or unintelligent.
