About
This ideogrammic compound features 田 (tián) at the top and 肉 (ròu, flesh) in its combining form 月 at the bottom. The upper 田 here represents a granary or sack of grain, not an agricultural field. Paired with the flesh radical, the character denotes the stomach, the bodily organ that receives and digests food. It refers specifically to the anatomical organ, and by extension, to digestion and appetite.
