Etymology

Originally written 夃 (OC *kaːʔ, “thigh”), according to 趙平安. Later the 夃 component came to be written 殳, and a 肉 component was added, making the modern form an ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意) and phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *klaːʔ): semantic 肉 (“body”) + phonetic 夃 (OC *kaːʔ, “thigh”). Shuowen incorrectly considered it Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *klaːʔ): semantic 肉 (“body”) + phonetic 殳 (OC *djo, “action”) – the hips as an active part of the body.
