Historical forms of the character 股
Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)	Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Small seal script	Transcribed ancient scripts

Originally written 夃 (OC *kaːʔ, “thigh”), according to 趙平安. Later the 夃 component came to be written 殳, and a 肉 component was added, making the modern form an ideogrammic compound (會意／会意) and phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *klaːʔ) : semantic 肉 (“body”) + phonetic 夃 (OC *kaːʔ, “thigh”).

Shuowen incorrectly considered it Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *klaːʔ) : semantic 肉 (“body”) + phonetic 殳 (OC *djo, “action”) – the hips as an active part of the body.
