masculine, male, hero, leader, superiority, excellence
雄 centers on the idea of masculine strength and prominence: a male, a hero, or a leader who stands out through superiority and excellence.
雄 combines 厷 (a variant of 肱, meaning upper arm or strength) with 隹 (a short-tailed bird). The bird component likely contributes the sound, while the arm suggests masculine power or dominance. Together they convey the idea of a strong male or leader.
The left side 厷 looks like a muscular arm, and the right side 隹 is a bird. Imagine a powerful male bird flexing its wing like a strong arm, showing off its masculine superiority and heroic leadership.
For ユウ, picture a heroic male bird shouting 'You!' as it challenges others: 'You!' -> ユウ, and the bird's bold call shows its excellence.
