馓 appears only in 馓子, a crisp deep-fried snack of fine dough strands bunched together — a traditional treat especially among Hui and other Muslim communities in China.
散 ('to scatter') supplies the sound, close to sàn and read here as sǎn. Its 'loose, spread out' sense even hints at the snack's scattered, threadlike shape.
