About
The character "臀", denoting the buttocks, is formed from the component "殿" above "肉", where the latter signifies flesh and the former contributes both sound and the idea of a base or foundation, reflecting the body part's supportive role. Its etymology points to an early understanding of the buttocks as a lower, stabilizing structure, and the character's meaning has remained consistently anatomical throughout its usage in written Chinese. The structural integrity of "臀" has been maintained over time, with its constituent parts continuing to clearly communicate its reference to the physical form.
