What 痾 means
It named illness. The early dictionary analysis places it in the illness field: 疒 for sickness plus 可 for sound. Its written job was naming disease; computer encoding came much later.
疴 is recorded as its variant, so treat 痾 vs 疴 as the same word in old texts. An old-feud sense and a vernacular use matching 屙 are also documented, so let the neighboring words decide.
