About

The phono-semantic compound 脝 describes a physical state of bloating, excessive fat, or a swollen appearance. Its structure features the flesh radical 月 on the left, linking it to the body and physical conditions, while the character 亨 on the right provides the pronunciation. 脝 is rarely used outside of classical texts or regional dialects for specific physical descriptions, without acquiring broader metaphorical meanings.
