About
羹 is an associative compound, structurally formed by placing 羔 (lamb) above 美 (delicious). This pairing reflects an ancient culinary practice where a thick stew made from boiled lamb was considered a delicacy. Originally, the character denoted such a meat stew, but over time its meaning broadened to refer to any thick soup or viscous broth, regardless of ingredients.
