GETSU, GATSU
tsuki

The radical 月 means moon or month. (The kanji for meat/flesh 肉 as a radical is typically simplified to this: 月)

Image of an ascending moon.

月	month	The radical tsuki stands for moon or month when used at the right side of a character. However the radical niku 肉 that stands for body or body-part is in many cases simplified to 月 and thus looks equal as "moon".
肉	body part, meat	The radical niku* is typically at the left side of a composition and drawn as: 月, which looks equal to: "moon, month 月" but has the meaning 'body part'.*
