About
As a phono-semantic compound, 臞 uses the flesh radical 月 on the left to connect it to the body and physical condition. The right side, 瞿, acts as the phonetic element, providing the character's sound. Its primary meaning is extreme thinness or emaciation, describing a gaunt physical state. Historically, this term has been used in literature to depict a frail or slender appearance, often associated with asceticism, illness, or aging.
