Memory story · made up to help you remember
“Someone is hobbling or stumbling along! This radical shows a person whose leg isn't quite straight, representing a state of being "off-balance" or "unusual." It tells you that the character might involve something being one-sided, bent, or standing out from the norm. Think of it as the radical of the "offset" or the "extraordinary."”
