Definition
悱 is a bound form (b.f.) that only appears in literary compound words, most commonly in 悱恻 (fěicè, 'deeply sorrowful and distressed') and 悱愤 (fěifèn, 'indignant and unable to speak'). It conveys the idea of being choked with emotion, unable to articulate one's thoughts. You won't encounter it as a standalone word; it belongs to formal, written Chinese.
