Flesh (肉, written 月) for fat — 說文 reads 膩 as the fat on top. 貳 èr carries the sound, worn far toward nì. From thick grease come its turns: oily food (油膩), too much of it (吃膩了), and the opposite touch — fat-smooth, fine (細膩).

一層肥油（肉）浮在湯面，看久了就膩。
A film of fat (肉) on the soup — look long enough and you tire of it.
