xióng

male

staminate; grand; imposing; powerful; mighty; person or state having great power and influence

arm/sound (厷) + bird (隹) = the mighty male

隹 depicts a short-tailed bird, and 雄 originally evoked a commanding male bird — the kind that dominates the flock. 厷 carries the sound xiōng/xióng; the bird radical anchors the idea of male vitality and dominance.
