About
The character 肚 is structured with the radical ⺼, a variant of 肉 meaning flesh, on the left and the component 土 meaning earth on the right, the latter primarily serving a phonetic function in its formation. Initially denoting the specific internal organ of the stomach, its meaning broadened over time to refer to the entire abdominal region, which in turn led to figurative uses describing the protruding or central section of objects, as evidenced in compounds such as 肚兜 and 肚子.
