"etymology_text": "峨眉 derives from the word 蛾眉 (“the feathery feelers of a moth”), so named because the peaks of Mount Emei do in fact resemble the feelers of a moth (see pictures). The \"insect\" radical (虫) on the left side of the first character 蛾 was later replaced with the \"mountain\" radical (山). Thus, 蛾 eventually became 峨, so as to denote the mountain. Occasionally, the radical is placed on top: 峩. The \"mountain\" radical can be optionally added to the second character 眉. Both 峨嵋 and 峨眉 have been used through the centuries.",
