tolerant, leniency, generosity, relax, feel at home, be at ease, broadminded
寛 centers on a spacious, relaxed attitude: being tolerant, generous, and broadminded, which naturally extends to feeling at ease and at home.
寛 is the modern simplified form of 寬. The older form combines 宀 (roof) with a phonetic component that also suggests spaciousness. The modern simplification replaces the lower right part with a simpler shape.
Under a roof (宀), you see a plant (⺾) and an eye (見) — imagine a spacious room with plants where you can relax and be generous with your time.
For カン, picture a can of your favorite drink under the roof, helping you relax and feel at home: can -> カン.
