About
The character 股 combines the radical 月 (derived from meat, commonly used in body-part characters) with the component 殳 (a hand holding a tool, serving as the phonetic element). It originally referred to the thigh or upper leg in humans and animals. From this sense of a major limb or section, it expanded metaphorically to mean a portion, strand, or segment of something larger, and later came to represent a share in a business, forming the basis of modern financial terms for stocks and corporate shares.
