About
The character "脸", with its traditional form "臉", is structured around the "肉" radical denoting flesh and the component "僉" which primarily functions as a phonetic indicator. Etymologically, this character originally referred specifically to the cheeks in early Chinese texts, rather than the entire face, but its meaning gradually broadened over centuries to encompass the whole visage. This semantic expansion was solidified by the late imperial period, and the simplified form "脸" retains the flesh radical while altering the phonetic component to "佥".
