The first part is the radical for flesh and the second part for radical for earth. The second part looks like a cross with a line at the bottom. The lines in a cross intersect in the middle. You could say that this character is the “middle” of one’s “flesh” or body.

Flesh radical with the earth. Stomach takes the nutrients from earth and converts them into flesh.

It is a body part because of the body radical on the left, and the right part looks like a 6-pack (except it is a 4-pack here)

The flesh radical is beside what looks like someone standing on a scale because of all they’ve put in their “STOMACH”.

The radical on the left means flesh, and the second part of the character has a horizontal line in the middle- your abdomen is in the middle of your body.

the left radical is flesh. I remember this character because whenever my stomach hurts, I cross my hands over my stomch, which is what the 土 reminds me of
