The radical means flesh, but is exactly the moon character, and there is a legend during mochi season that the rabbit makes mochi on the moon and because it eats so much mochi, the rabbit is chubby. However this season only come every HALF a year, I think. So the left side is the bunny on the MOON and the right side the the HALF season.
AJ Noble says
The radical means flesh and the second half of the character looks similar to yang 羊,yang sounds like pang.
Munkh-Erdene Altanbaatar says
This character’s radicals mean half flesh, which can be kind of referred to as a fat person.
Mahrukh Shaikh says
the flesh radical and 半 shows maybe there is extra flesh, you have the flesh of 1 and a half person, so you are chubby (胖)
Ruby Rich says
This character is composed of the flesh radical and the character meaning “half”. If you eat a lot, your body will be 50% flesh.
Nicole Cheah says
radical is 月,the 发音 of this character is the same as / reminds me of the character 越,thus reminding me of the phrase / saying = 越来越胖
Tony Kinninger says
People say “WOW did you eat half a moon?” when someone looks fat.
