About

The character 臀 is formed pictographically and conceptually: its upper component (殿) originally depicted a person's buttocks in profile (with 殳 representing the body and 丌 suggesting the curved form), while the lower radical (肉, written as 月) denotes flesh or the body. The full character 臀 thus visually combines these elements to represent "the fleshy, curved part of the body". When combined with 部 (meaning region or part), the compound 臀部 specifically and clearly denotes the anatomical "buttock region".
