Definition
髈 is a bound form (b.f.) meaning 'thigh' — it only appears as a morpheme in compound words, never alone. You'll encounter it in anatomical terms like 大腿髈 (thigh bone) or in classical texts. It is extremely rare in modern everyday Chinese; most learners will never need to produce it actively.
b.f.
(bound form) thigh
