simp. and trad.
 育

Glyph origin[edit]

Pictogram (象形) – a woman giving birth. Originally a woman squatting on left, with child head down on right, with lines (川) below head (hair, coming out). Etymology clearer in alternative form 毓 (woman 母 on left, upside down child 㐬 on right; the top part is an abstracted body with a head at the bottom; compare 充).

Significantly simplified and abstracted in large seal and seal script: woman eliminated, lines 川 re-interpreted as ribs (肉, ⺼), thence simplified to 月.
