股 character · TOCFL A2 (est.)
股 ＝ 月 ＋ 殳
ㄍㄨˇ · gǔ
noun — thigh; a share, a portion

字源 FORM — what the parts do

月義flesh (肉) — the body radical, written 月
殳聲shū — gives the sound
IFTshū → gǔ — initial, final and tone all reshaped
Flesh (肉, written 月) names a part of the body; 殳 shū carries the sound, worn far from its donor. Together they write the thigh — the body's thickest limb. From a portion of the body comes a portion of anything: a share, 股份, and the strand-by-strand counting of 一股風.

故事 STORY — a scene to remember it by

月（肉）旁一隻持械的手（殳），按在大腿上。
Flesh (月) beside a hand gripping a pole (殳), resting on the thigh.
