About
Originating from early Chinese character formation, "肥" is structurally composed of the radical "肉" indicating flesh, combined with "巴" which primarily served a phonetic role, together conveying the core idea of plumpness or corpulence. Initially describing physical fatness in humans and animals, its meaning broadened over time to encompass the fertility of soil and the quality of being loose in clothing, with further figurative extensions applied to lucrative matters or rich substances, all while retaining its fundamental association with abundance and density.
