About

The word "液体" is formed by combining the character "液", which means liquid and is itself composed of the water radical (氵) to signify fluidity and the phonetic component "夜" indicating pronunciation, with the character "体", meaning body or substance, originally derived from "體" which incorporates the bone radical (骨) to emphasize tangible form; together, they literally denote "liquid substance", referring to the liquid state of matter.
