Definition
肢 is a bound form (b.f.) that means 'limb (arm or leg)' but does not stand alone as an independent word in modern Chinese. You will encounter it in compounds such as 肢体 (limbs), 上肢 (upper limbs), 下肢 (lower limbs), and 截肢 (amputation). Always pair it with another element to form a complete word.
