About
The character for pus, "脓" in its simplified form and "膿" in its traditional form, combines the flesh radical "月" to semantically indicate its connection to the body with a phonetic component; the traditional character uses "農" for its sound, while the simplified version employs "农". Historically, the character's meaning has consistently referred to the thick fluid from infected tissue, and its structural composition has maintained this association through the bodily radical.
