Cultural Note

Memory Tip

Imagine a 'fu' (foot) that has a 'bu' (boot) on it, but the boot is too tight, causing discomfort in the '腹部' (abdomen). The character 腹 has the radical for 'flesh' (肉) indicating it's related to the body, while '部' means 'part' – together they remind you of the body part that can often feel tight or uncomfortable.
