The part under the radical sounds (disregarding tones) sounds “the same”. The radical is part of a lot of characters involving sickness. The character looks like a bug and when you have bugs in your hair, your scalp might feel…..

痒 has the radical as in 病 relating to a sickness, and inside you have a 羊 (different tone, 2nd) meaning sheep. So if you have a woolen sweater, it’s sometimes itchy.

The three lines in the radical 羊 remind me of the marks on your body when you itch, so when you itch you get these lines.

this character is a combination of both the “sick” radical and the Chinese character that indicates “sheep,” so since animal fur can cause you to itch, the character means ITCHY.

Inside the sickness radical the sheep radical almost looks like a scratch mark so it is itchy and hurting.

The character has the sickness radical; being itchy falls in that category. On the inside there is the “yang” character.

This character consists of sharp lines and “shelter” radical. So this character reminds me of how being itchy feels like.

The 羊 in the middle is sheep and sheep eat hay. Hay makes me itchy so therefore it is itchy.

Yang has a Y looking letter inside the box, and the three lines can represent what itchiness feels like. Not smooth but disrupting in a way.

the inside part is similar to the other character we use to show similarity, helping us remember how to pronounce this character. the outer part reminds us that whenever we get sick or feel uncomfortable, laying in layers of blanket cozying up is the best way to battle sicknesses.

This character shares the same stroke which is the one for sickness, but what differentiates it is that it has the character for sheep under, which gives its pronunciation. Its meaning, I thought of it like: I like scratching the sheep’s fur
