說文解字 - Shuowen: 《頻部》顰涉水顰蹙。从頻卑聲。

康熙字典文字版 【戌集下】【頁字部】顰
【玉篇】【正韻】𠀤毗賓切，音貧。【玉篇】顰蹙，憂愁不樂之狀也。【易·復卦】作頻。【註】謂頻蹙之貌。　又通作矉。【莊子·天運篇】西施病心而矉其里，其里之醜人見而美之，歸亦捧心而矉其里。【李白詩】蛾眉不可學，况乃效其矉。　亦作嚬。
考證：〔【玉篇】顰蹙，憂愁不樂之狀也。【易·復卦】作頻。【註】謂頻蹙之貌。〕　謹按此謂顰字易作頻，非謂顰字易作復也。今改易復卦作頻。省下復字。

CF-Dict: froncer les sourcils

Han-De-Dict: Falte zwischen den Augenbauen; Stirnrunzeln (u.E.)
