Origin

This character combines the moon or flesh radical on the left, which represents the body or muscle, with a component on the right that suggests a striking or extending motion. Together, these parts depict a limb of the body that extends outward—specifically the thigh or the area between the legs. The flesh component makes clear we're talking about a body part, while the right side contributes the sense of something that juts out or extends from the torso.
