穴位
xué wèi · HSK 7
point
📍 穴 cavity/hole + 位 position = the precise body spot used in acupuncture
穴 means a hole or hollow (think of a cave-like dip in the skin), and 位 means position or location. Together: the located hollow point a needle targets. The xué sound also opens 学 study, but here it is the cavity character.
位 — person radical 亻 + stand 立
位 combines the person radical 亻 with 立 (to stand), originally depicting a person standing in their proper place at court. It came to mean 'position, rank, or place,' and is now also used as a polite measure word for people.
