The kanji 胡 is a pictophonetic character. The left side is a part of the "moon" radical (月), sometimes signifying "meat" or "flesh". The right side is "古" (ko), which indicates the sound and also refers to old things. Together, it initially referred to foreign tribes and their culture, conveying the idea of something unfamiliar or from an older time. Over time, the meaning evolved to encompass anything foreign or from regions west of China.
