About
As a single-component radical, 月 (yuè) visually depicts a crescent moon, giving it the core meaning of "moon" or "lunar body". This association with the moon's cycle also led it to represent a "month", the period of its phases. Furthermore, when used as a component in compound characters, its form historically merged with the radical for meat, so it frequently appears in characters related to bodily organs and flesh.
