qiāng

(bound form) cavity

(bound form) speech; talk; tune; accent (in one's speech); (old) classifier for carcasses of slaughtered livestock

flesh (⺼) + hollow (空) = a cavity in the body

The flesh radical grounds this in the body — a cavity is literally a hollow space within flesh or bone. 空 mainly gives the sound qiāng; the meaning of emptiness it carries is a lucky bonus.
