About
The character 骨, meaning bone, is structurally composed of the component 冎, representing a skeletal frame, above 月, a form of 肉 denoting flesh, which etymologically reflects the conceptual integration of bones within the body. Its primary meaning has always been physical bone, but over time it developed extended uses to indicate essential frameworks, as in 骨架 for skeleton, or core qualities, such as in 骨氣 for moral fortitude.
