HI


meaning: cease, leave, go

罷業 == higyou == (noun) strike, walkout
罷免 == himen == (noun which can take する to act as a verb) dismissal, discharge

Top radical is 'net'. Bottom radical is 'ability/bear' (能), which acts phonetically to express 'set/leave'. Originally this character referred to the setting of a trap, possibly for bear. Henshall suggests as a mnemonic: ''Cease work, leaving bear in net.'
