About
The character "颚" originates from its traditional form "顎", a phono-semantic compound where the phonetic component "咢" indicates pronunciation and the semantic component "頁" (simplified to "页") relates to the head, reflecting its meaning pertaining to the jaw or palate. This meaning has been consistently applied without major alteration, and the structural change from "顎" to "颚" involved only the simplification of the semantic radical from "頁" to "页", leaving the phonetic element and core meaning unchanged.
