曲（qū、qǔ）
Origin：

甲骨文的“曲”像曲尺形，本义是“弯曲”，和“直”相对（音qū）。又有“乐曲”的意思（音qǔ）。
On ancient oracle bone inscriptions, the character “曲” resembles a curved ruler, so its original meaning was “bent,” the opposite of straight, and it was pronounced “qū.” It also has the meaning “music” and “song” when pronounced “qǔ.”

Meaning:

bent; twisted; song; tune; music

Words：

是非曲直(shìfēi qūzhí): right and wrong
曲折(qūzhé): bending
曲调(qǔdiào): tune; melody
歌曲(gēqǔ): song
