lazy, laziness
惰 centers on a lack of energy or will to act: laziness and the state of being lazy.
惰 combines 忄 (heart/mind) with a phonetic component that also appears in 隋 and 堕. The heart radical suggests a mental or emotional state, and the compound originally conveyed neglect or laziness.
The left side is the heart radical 忄, and the right side looks like a person slouching on a couch (左 over 月). Picture a lazy heart that just wants to slump and do nothing.
For ダ, imagine a lazy person saying 'duh' to any request: 'duh' -> ダ, and the heart slumps in laziness.
