About
The character "股" originates from a pictographic representation of the thigh, a meaning still retained in modern usage, as evidenced by its left-side "月" component, a variant form of the "flesh" radical. Its structure combines this with the right-side component "殳", often associated with action or force, possibly suggesting the powerful function of the limb. Over time, the meaning expanded from the concrete bodily part to denote a section or portion of something divisible, such as a strand of silk or a branch of a larger entity. This conceptual shift from a physical division to an abstract share naturally led to its application in commercial and financial contexts, where it came to signify a stock or share in a company, representing a portion of ownership. Thus, the character’s journey reflects a logical extension from anatomical specificity to generalized division and finally to a specialized economic term.
