豖

Meanings

Etymology

Pictogram (象形) of a male pig with the penis detached from his body, thus indicating a castrated male pig. See also the original version on oracle bones of 家, 豕, and 豭. The interpretation of a shackled pig derives from the stylization of the character and belongs to folk etymology. Furthermore, Showen Jiezi interprets the character as a pig with a small foot at the bottom, indicating a pig tripping over itself; however, this interpretation is not linked to the original appearance of the character on oracle bones.
