(bound form) testicle
Etymology
About
The character "睾" in its traditional form is a phono-semantic compound consisting of the semantic component "目" (eye) and the phonetic component "幸". Its original meaning, now obsolete, was "high" or "elevated", derived from a pictographic concept of overseeing from a height. This sense of elevation is retained in some classical compounds. The character's primary modern function is as a constituent of the disyllabic word "睾丸" (testicle), where it serves a largely phonetic role and carries no independent semantic relation to its components, with the meaning of the organ being derived entirely from the complete term.
