Karna in other language too means ear.
Sun god blessed her with a child...he ws born thru ear. He arranged that way..
Its sad..kunti treats madri's son so much as her own..but not her own son..first one.

Khushi in Sanskrit, Karna means 'having a protective covering'. Ear is called Karna only because it has a protective umbrella like part (outer ear) outside its functional part (inner ear). There are many other things which are called as Karna...for example a cup-handle or a protective metal hook. There is even a tree by that name!

thanks for logically explaining it .. but my logic goes little different

1. When Karna was entering the arena for the 1st time .. I found Duryadhana was quite sure that KARNA is NOT a sutaputra .. "can a lion takes birth from deer womb" .. though I don't have the exact lines bookmarked but it is clear that he didn't believe that karna cud be a Suta-Putra .. so feeling safe about the crown, I am not sure.. history of backstabbing or changing royal linage wasn't new in those days .. n yes He didn't know he was a pandava .. if he knew it at that moment he wud have surely hated him

2. I found Duryadhana's hatred was deep rooted in his childhood .. Bheema's constant bullying .. it's not that he was after their life from the beginning as ⭐️B showed .. I must say Ekta's portrayal was much better .. certain reasons played behind the transformation of Suyodhana to Duryadhana .. Pandavas were better skilled in every field [though Krishna said Dury was better skilled in mace fighting than Bhima but I guess it was after Balaraam taught him] .. Drona was a classic case of favoring good students [we know he cud go to any extent to make his favorite student be the best] .. ignorance of teacher .. added fuel in his jealousy n anger and then there was Shakuni to channel it in wrong way .. what cud be solved with understanding and counselling .. went horribly wrong in wrong circumstances

3. Now coming to Karna-Duryadhana friendship some suspects his preliminary motive of befriending Karna .. ok for sake of argument let me agree with it .. but we must not forget this friendship evolved in a way that the man who never cried in his brother's death cried like a child in Karna's death .. if after that he knew that Karna was a pandava the only thing he could think was - why didn't he tell me .. if I put in Dury's place I feel it would the only question in my mind .. the emotion cud be named as "Abhimaan" not as "hatred" I guess

4. moreover, his never shared any bitter memory with Karna . like he had it with pandavas ..The reasons of such passionate hatred what I explained in 2nd point was absent in case of karna .. instead it was a nice bonding .. and now that he knows he knew his real identity still chose to fight from his side .. Why he will hate him ??

So, Personally I believe BRC portrayal was more believable .. well it is only what I feel .. not trying to pick a fight or saying I am right all the way .. its just my hear n mind say ..
