Etymology 1 edit

simp. and trad.		朒
alternative forms		肭䶺

Glyph origin edit

Characters in the same phonetic series (肉) (Zhengzhang, 2003)

	Old Chinese
朒	*nuɡ
肉	*njuɡ

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声) .

Two character forms exist: One is semantic 月 (“moon”) + phonetic 內 (OC *nuːbs). The other one is semantic 月 (“moon”) + phonetic 肉 (OC *njuɡ).

The Middle Chinese pronunciation (Fanqie: 女六切; Baxter notation: nrjuwk) is likely resulting from an assimilation in the word 縮肭 (MC srjuwk nrjuwk) (Zhang, 2022), implying 肭 is the earlier one and 朒 is a later written form reflecting such pronunciation development.
