buttocks, hips, butt, rear
尻 centers on the lower rear part of the body: the buttocks or hips. It refers to the physical rear end.
尻 combines 尸 (body) and 九, which may have originally depicted the curved shape of the buttocks. The exact historical development is uncertain.
The outer 尸 represents the body, and inside 九 looks like a curved shape. Picture the body's curved rear end: 尻 is the buttocks.
For コウ, imagine a person sitting on their rear, making a 'coo' sound of comfort: coo -> コウ.
