About
The character 骼, in its traditional form, is composed of the semantic component 骨 (bone) combined with the phonetic component 各. Its core meaning has consistently pertained to bones, originally denoting the dried bones or skeleton of an animal. Over time, its application became more specific to human anatomy, referring to the skeletal frame or particular bones, and it is primarily used in modern compounds such as 骨骼 (skeleton) and 骨髂 (bone structure). This semantic focus shifted from a general term for animal remains to a more technical term within anatomical and medical contexts.
