abdomen, belly, stomach
腹 centers on the physical belly or abdomen, and by extension the stomach as the organ inside it.
腹 combines the flesh radical ⺼ (a variant of 肉, meat/body) with 复, which likely contributes the sound フク. The combination points to a body part, specifically the belly.
The flesh radical ⺼ on the left marks this as a body part. The right side 复 looks like a container with something inside—picture it as the belly holding your stomach and organs.
For フク, imagine a full belly after a feast: "full" sounds close to フク, and your belly is full of food.
