About
The character 肾 is a phono-semantic compound meaning "kidney". Its traditional form, 腎, uses the semantic component 肉 (the "meat" radical ⺼) at the bottom, indicating it belongs to the category of body parts. The upper portion, 臤, provides the phonetic element. In the simplified form 肾, the phonetic component is reduced to 坚, while the essential radical ⺼ is retained at the bottom to preserve the anatomical meaning.
