About
The character 腹, meaning abdomen, is structured with the radical 月, a form of 肉 denoting flesh, combined with 复 serving as a phonetic component. The flesh radical directly associates the character with the body, while 复 provides the sound fù. Originally signifying the physical belly, the term's application broadened to refer to the interior of geographical areas, as in 腹地, and to mental conceptions, such as in 腹案, indicating a plan held in mind.
