defamation
讒 centers on damaging someone's reputation through false or malicious speech: defamation, slander, or backbiting.
讒 combines 言 (speech) with 毚, which likely contributes the sound and may relate to cunning or insidiousness, together suggesting harmful speech.
Words 言 from a sly, rabbit-like 毚 creature spread lies behind someone's back: that is defamation.
For ザン, imagine a scandalous rumor spreading: the 'zan' in scandal cues ザン, and the gossip 言 on the left fuels the defamation.
