肘 🔊

网络内容摘要 (Web Content Summary):

核心含义与象形起源：“肘”本意为胳膊弯曲的部位，即“手肘”。甲骨文中，“肘”像胳膊屈曲的形状，突出其象形特色，后加“肉”旁突出其为身体部位。Main meaning & pictographic origin: The character “肘” originally refers to the bent part of the arm, i.e. the “elbow”. Its earliest script shows the bent arm shape, highlighting its pictographic roots. Later, the “肉” (meat/flesh) radical was added to emphasize it as a body part.

文化背景与字形演变：早期“肘”字形和数字“九”相似，曾被假借为数字“九”，后通过添加“肉”旁和一笔（寸）区分为“肘”和“九”。Cultural background & character evolution: The ancient form of “肘” closely resembled the character for “nine” (九), and was once used as its phonetic loan. Distinctions were later made by adding the “肉” radical and an extra stroke (“寸”) to differentiate “肘” from “九”.

• 常用词语： 如“手肘”（elbow）、“胳膊肘”（elbow joint）。Common words: e.g., “手肘” (elbow), “胳膊肘” (elbow joint).
• 常见成语： “肘腋之患”（nearby threat, lit. “danger at the elbow and armpit”）。Common idioms: “肘腋之患” (threat close at hand, literally “trouble at the elbow and armpit”).

易混淆点： “肘”字容易与数字“九”混淆，要注意“肉”旁的区别。Common confusion: “肘” is easily confused with the number “九”; pay attention to the “肉” radical distinguishing it as a body part.

补充说明：甲骨文中有时“肘”也泛指“手腕”等手臂部位，具体含义需根据语境判断。Additional note: In oracle bone inscriptions, “肘” could also refer to the wrist or other arm joints depending on context.
