易
yì
abbr. for 易經|易经[Yi4 jing1], the Book of Changes
surname Yi; easy; amiable; to change; to exchange; prefix corresponding to the English adjective suffix "-able" or "-ible"
a picture of 易 → change, exchange, and ease
The original form may have depicted a lizard or a chameleon — a creature that changes color — which gave 易 its core sense of change and transformation. The sun (日) and 勿 components are debated; the clearest thread is the idea of shifting and adapting.
