About
The character 脞 incorporates the '肉' radical, represented in its modern form as '月' on the left, alongside the phonetic element '坐' on the right. Its etymology suggests an original sense connected to finely divided or small pieces of meat, which led to its meaning of trivial or minute. This meaning evolved from a more literal interpretation to an abstract one, and the character is now used almost exclusively in literary contexts such as in the word '琐脞' to denote petty or overly detailed matters.
