Historical forms of the character 肘
Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)
Small seal script

Originally an ideogram (指事): a hand (又) with a stroke outlining the elbow. This character was distinct from 寸; however, their shapes were too similar, so the radical 肉/⺼ was added to distinguish it, making it an ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意) and phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声).

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-g(r)u (“elbow, cubit”).

1. (anatomy) elbow
2. upper part of a leg of pork (as food)
