About
颈 is the simplified form of the traditional character 頸 and operates as a phono-semantic compound. The right component 页 (from 頁, 'head') signals the meaning by pointing to the upper body. The left component 𢀖, a simplified version of the phonetic 巠, supplies the sound. The character's meaning is strictly anatomical: it denotes the neck, the part of the body linking head and torso. In usage, it can refer to the entire neck or the front throat area, appearing frequently in medical terminology and everyday language.
