✋ 够 = 多 (many) + 句 (phrase) — enough words said
够 (gòu) means enough or sufficient. The character pairs 多 'many' with 句 'phrase/sentence', a verbal hook for 'enough has been said'. Common in 够了 (gòu le) — that's enough.
够 — 句 (phonetic) + 多 (semantic 'much')
够 is a semantic-phonetic compound. 多 ('many, much') gives the meaning of sufficiency or abundance, while 句 (gōu/jù) supplies the sound. Originally written 夠 with the same parts reversed, it came to mean 'enough' or 'sufficient' in modern usage.
