“会”是“脍”（音kuài，细切的肉或鱼）的本字，字的上部是盒盖，下面是食器，中间装的就是“脍”，但“会”后来多用于表示会议、集会的意思。

“会” is the original form of “脍”, which is pronounced “kuài” and means the cutting of meat or fish. The upper part is a lid, a bowl of food is below, and in the middle is “脍.” However, the character “会” later came to represent meetings or associations.
