About
The character 臂 is a phono-semantic compound. The bottom radical 月 (yuè), a variant of 肉 (ròu, "flesh"), provides the semantic category of a body part. The upper component 辟 (pì) serves as the phonetic element. The character specifically denotes the human arm, the limb from shoulder to wrist. Its usage is largely anatomical, for humans and sometimes animals, and it also appears in compounds implying assistance, reflecting the arm's functional role.
