fierce dog, furious, frenzied
猘 centers on intense, aggressive wildness: a fierce dog, furious rage, or frenzied behavior. The meanings all share a core of violent, uncontrolled energy.
猘 combines 犭 (dog/animal) with 制, which likely contributes the sound and may suggest restraint or control, but the exact historical development is uncertain.
A wild dog 犭 that cannot be controlled 制: imagine a fierce, frenzied animal straining against a leash.
For セイ, picture a fierce dog saying 'say' with a growl: 'say' -> セイ, as it barks furiously.
