About

The word "脂肪" is formed by combining the characters "脂" and "肪", both meaning fat. "脂" is a phono-semantic compound with the radical "月" (a variant of "肉" indicating flesh) for meaning and "旨" for sound, while "肪" similarly uses "月" for meaning and "方" for sound, together creating a term for bodily fat.
