0 마음은 뒤에만 있는 게 아니다心 is not only at the end
So far 心 has sat at the end of words — 열심, 관심, 조심. But it also hides inside other characters. Today we go looking for it.

바쁠 망과 잊을 망은 부품이 똑같습니다
'Busy' and 'forget' are built from the same parts
마음 心 시리즈 10편(대미). 心이 낱말 뒤가 아니라 **다른 글자 안에** 들어 있는 이야기. ★축 셋: ①忙(바쁠 망)과 忘(잊을 망)은 부품이 같다 — 亡+心, 위치만 다르다 ②마음이 옆에 서면 忄(심방변)으로 모양이 바뀐다 — 情·性·快 ③愛(사랑 애) 한가운데에도 心이 있다 → 사랑 편과 이어진다. ※자원(字源) 해석은 「이렇게 풀이하기도 한다」로만 말하고 단정하지 않는다 — 글자 모양이 그렇다는 사실까지만 확정. 대상 초등(kid 말투).
So far 心 has sat at the end of words — 열심, 관심, 조심. But it also hides inside other characters. Today we go looking for it.
忙 (busy) and 忘 (forget): same sound — and the same parts, 心 and 亡. Only the position differs: mind beside, or mind below. Some read it as 'too busy, so you forget.'
When 心 stands beside another part it slims into 忄. 情 (feeling) = 忄 + 靑. 性 (nature) = 忄 + 生, the mind you were born with. 快 (refreshing) too.
思 (to think) puts the head on top and 心 underneath. And 愛 (love) carries 心 right in its middle — which matches our 사랑 episode: love came from thinking.
A promise: scholars disagree about why characters took the shapes they did. So we say what is visible — the parts — and offer readings as readings, never as settled fact.
心 sits at the end of words and inside characters: slimmed at the side, seated below, hidden in the middle. Ten episodes following one character, and this is where it ends.
마음은 낱말 뒤에만 있는 게 아니라, 글자 안에도 숨어 있어요.
