About

The Chinese word "肌肉" is formed by combining the characters "肌" and "肉", where "肌" specifically denotes flesh or muscle tissue in the context of the body, and "肉" broadly means meat or flesh; together, they create a compound word that precisely refers to biological muscle, as the overlap in meaning reinforces the concept of muscular flesh.
