怨恨

• 拼音: yuàn hèn
• 汉字拆解: 怨 = 夗 + 心 (twisted/turning + heart — a heart turned in resentment); 恨 = 忄 + 艮 (heart radical + stubborn/resistant — a heart that hardens into hatred)

含义

Resentment; bitter hatred; a deep, smouldering animosity. As a verb: to harbour deep resentment towards someone for wrongs perceived or suffered.

怨恨 denotes resentment that goes beyond simple complaint — it carries the weight of sustained emotional suffering and perceived injustice. Stronger than 埋怨 (to blame/grumble) or 不满 (dissatisfaction). 充满怨恨 (full of resentment), 心存怨恨 (to harbour resentment in one's heart), 消除怨恨 (to dissolve resentment), and 积累多年的怨恨 (resentment accumulated over many years) are common expressions. Relevant in psychological, legal, and social conflict contexts.
