Origin

The character 輝 combines light with a sound hint. The left component 光 means light or radiance, directly conveying the character's meaning of shining brightly. The right component 軍 doesn't refer to an army here — it's included mainly to suggest the pronunciation, similar to how many Japanese kanji pair a meaningful element with a phonetic guide. Together, the character visually represents the idea of light shining forth brightly.
