About
The traditional form is 窩, a phono-semantic compound made up of the semantic radical 穴 (xué, 'cave, hole') on top and the phonetic 呙 (guō) below, originally written 咼. The character denotes a nest, den, or lair, and by extension a shelter, a hideout for criminals, or a hollow body part like the armpit. It also serves as a measure word for litters of animals and for groups of people, often derogatory.
