Shuowen

Deception. The character is formed with the horse radical (马) and the phonetic component 扁, originally meaning to mount a horse but later used to mean to deceive, perhaps from the notion of tricking someone. Characters with 马 often relate to horses, but 骗 took on a metaphorical meaning of cheating.
