Where it comes from

形聲漢字（上古 *kaːn）：意符 ⺼ + 聲符 干 (上古 *kaːn) – 身體部位。

可能繼承自原始漢藏語 *b-ka-(n/m/ŋ) (“苦；鹹；膽汁；肝臟”)，在這種情況下與苦 (上古 *kʰaːʔ, *kʰaːs, “苦的”)有關；亦可對照原始博多-加羅語 *bi-ka (“肝臟”)，博多語 [需要文字] (bi-ka，“肝臟”)、嘎洛語 bika (“肝臟”)也經由此。

另外，Schuessler (2007)將其與原始漢藏語 *m-kal ~ *s-gal (“腰部；腎臟”)進行對照，即藏語 མཁལ་མ (mkhal ma，“腎臟”)、米佐語 kal (“腎臟”)、切彭語 गल् (“腎臟”)、緬甸語 ခါး (hka:，“腰”)經由此。

釋義

  1. 肝臟 我不吃肚也不吃肝。
  2. figuratively 心思，想法
  3. neologism 為達到一項特定目標，沒日沒夜地重複同一個任務的行為 這遊戲很吸引人，但我實在肝不動了。它太肝了。
  4. neologism 練等
