blind, blind man, ignoramus
盲 centers on the absence of sight or insight: being physically blind, or metaphorically blind to knowledge (an ignoramus).
盲 combines 亡 (lost, dead) with 目 (eye) to express the idea of lost sight or blindness.
The top component 亡 suggests something lost or dead, and the bottom 目 is an eye. Picture an eye that has lost its function: 盲 means blind.
For モウ, imagine a blind person mowing the lawn by touch: mow -> モウ, and the lost eye 盲 guides the mower.
