anxiety, trouble, worry, pain, ill, annoy, nuisance, irksome
煩 centers on mental or emotional distress that feels like a burning irritation: anxiety, worry, and pain, as well as the act of annoying or being a nuisance.
煩 combines 火 (fire) and 頁 (head), suggesting a head on fire with worry or irritation. This phono-semantic structure is well established.
Picture a head (頁) with a fire (火) burning inside it: the flames represent anxiety, worry, and the pain of being annoyed.
For ハン, imagine a hand fanning the flames on your head to cool the irritation: hand -> ハン, and the fanning soothes the burning worry.
