faint, dizzy
眩 centers on a disorienting sensory overload that makes one feel faint, dizzy, or blinded by brightness. The given meanings all describe states where perception is overwhelmed.
眩 combines 目 (eye) with 玄, which likely contributes the sound and suggests something deep or dark, together conveying the idea of vision becoming unclear or dizzy.
The eye 目 sees something mysterious and dark 玄, making the vision swirl and the person feel faint and dizzy.
For ゲン, imagine a dizzy person trying to focus on a genie emerging from the dark 玄: genie -> ゲン, and the sight makes the eyes 目 spin.
