Description: 膾 is composed of the radical 肉 (meat) and 會 (gather). 會 originally depicted a covered container holding minced meat, carrying the primary meaning of finely chopped meat. As 會 later evolved to represent other abstract concepts, the radical 肉 was added to restore and emphasize its original meaning—denoting finely sliced or chopped meat.
