原有

yuányǒu · HSK 5

previously exist

原有 = 原 (origin/original) + 有 (have/possess)

Compound of 原 (yuán, 'original, from the start') and 有 (yǒu, 'to have'). Together: 'originally have' — something that was already there or existed beforehand, not newly added.

原 — cliff 厂 + spring 泉 (white 白 + water 水)
Originally a pictograph showing a spring of water flowing out from beneath a cliff, depicting the source of a stream. From this concrete image of a water source, the meaning extended to 'origin,' 'source,' and 'original.' A separate character 源 was later created with the water radical 氵 to keep the literal 'spring' sense.

有 — hand 𠂇 + moon/meat 月
Originally depicted a hand holding a piece of meat (月 here is the 'meat' radical, not moon), expressing the idea of possessing something. Over time the meaning broadened from 'to hold/possess' to the general sense of 'to have' or 'there is/exists'.
