(bound form) testicle
Etymology
About
The character "睾" structurally integrates components that historically relate to visual perception, with its upper element derived from "目" representing the eye, now stylized as "罒", positioned above "幸" which implies a sense of height or constraint. Etymologically, this configuration originally denoted the act of observing from an elevated position, but its application gradually shifted away from this visual context to adopt a specialized anatomical function. In contemporary usage, it exclusively serves to indicate the testicle within the compound "睾丸", marking a semantic transition from a broad verb of observation to a precise nominal term in biological lexicon, with its initial meaning no longer active.
