What kind of virus?

I am in bed for diarrhea, vomiting, a stomachache, fever and a headache.
What kind of virus was I infected with?

< MEANING >
bowel, heart, thought

< ORIGIN >
「月」＋「昜」
月 : body, meat
昜 : The original character of ''陽 ( The state that the sun rises brightly. )''. There are not the direct relations with the bowels.
The long bowels

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I introduce ''腸'' on this time.

The bowels are the important internal organs which take nutrition in our body.
But, this kanji does not have such a meaning.
In the times when this kanji was made, the people may not have known the work of the bowels in detail.

I feel that the human research feeling is splendid.

I introduce ''臀'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I introduce ''腰'' on this time.

The ancient people express ''腰 ( waist )'' with the part of a body narrow thin.
For reasons of the rich dietary habit top, 腰 ( waist ) of modern people is lost.
So, I think that
''腰 ( fighting spirit, perseverance, tenacity )'' is lost, too.

I introduce ''腸'' on the next time.


Thank you.
