meat

Origin & mnemonic

This radical originates from a pictograph in oracle-bone script depicting the sinews and muscle fibers of an animal; it was later simplified into a grid-like pattern of vertical strokes in seal script.

Mnemonic: The parallel vertical strokes resemble the muscle fibers and sinews inside an animal's body.
