息
The story of 息
breath, cease
息 is composed of 自 (self) and 心 (heart). 自 is the picture of nose, while 心 depicts a heart, also representing the lung. Both nose and lung are the organs for breathing, so 息 means breathing. Breathing is an unconscious physiological activity that can only be perceived after being quiet, so 息 also means rest.
