挂念

• ピンイン: guà niàn
• 漢字の分解: 挂 = 扌 (hand) + 卦 (trigram) — to be attached or hung upon; 念 = 今 (now) + 心 (heart) — the heart fixed on the present moment, to think of or miss

意味

（人を）気にかけて案じる／恋しく思って心配する

挂念 implies an emotional sense of concern and longing for someone, typically a family member or close friend who is far away or facing hardship. It suggests an ongoing mental preoccupation — the person is constantly on one's mind and impossible to forget. More formal and literary in tone than 想念.
