About

The character 猓 is a phono-semantic compound. Its left radical 犭 (the "beast" radical) indicates the semantic category of a non-human mammal. The right component 果 provides the phonetic element, matching the character's pronunciation. Its meaning is specific to zoological terminology, primarily used as a bound morpheme in compounds for certain primates, such as macaques. Coined for technical descriptions of primate species, it carries no abstract meanings and appears only in biological contexts.
