About
The character 膜 is a phono-semantic compound with the flesh radical 月 on the left, anchoring its meaning to biological tissue and anatomy. The right side, 莫, provides the phonetic component. Its core meaning refers to a thin biological membrane or lining, such as the cornea or the tissue surrounding organs. This sense later extended to include any extremely thin, pliable layer or artificial coating, like a plastic film, a protective surface layer, or the vibrating diaphragm in a microphone.
