会(huì)
Origin:
“会”是“脍”(音kuài,细切的肉或鱼)的本字,字的上部是盒盖,下面是食器,中间装的就是“脍”,但“会”后来多用于表示会议、集会的意思。
“会” is the original form of “脍”, which is pronounced “kuài” and means the cutting of meat or fish. The upper part is a lid, a bowl of food is below, and in the middle is “脍.” However, the character “会” later came to represent meetings or associations.
