說文解字 - Shuowen: 《心部》悶懣也。从心門聲。

康熙字典文字版 【卯集上】【心字部】悶
【廣韻】【集韻】【韻會】【正韻】𠀤莫困切，音懣。【說文】懣也。【易·乾卦】遯世無悶。　又【集韻】莫奔切，音門。【老子·道德經】其政悶悶，其民淳淳。【戰國策】瘨而殫悶旄不知人。或作惛。亦作㥃。◎按古韻文元通。古人能調五言，自然叶韻。向來學者鮮知古韻，惟吳棫韻補稍能推求，故朱子本之，雖未必盡合，亦思過半矣。字彙引韻補不無小泥，而正字通駁之太過，若此處悶字原有平聲，而字彙叶明字，爲誤耳。

朱芾煌:法相辭典 瑜伽一卷十二頁雲：雲何悶？謂由風熱亂故；或由捶打故；或由瀉故；如過量轉痢及出血；或由極勤勞；而致悶絕。
