富足
fù zú · HSK 7
rich
💰 富 = rich/wealthy + 足 = enough/foot; literally 'wealth-enough' = abundant
富 (fù) means rich or wealthy; 足 (zú) means enough or sufficient (also 'foot'). Together: having wealth that is sufficient — rich and plentiful. The 足 component reinforces the sense of 'enough to spare'.
富 — roof 宀 + one 一 + mouth 口 + field 田
Originally a pictograph of a tall jar full of grain or wine under a roof, symbolizing a household with abundant stores. The lower part 畐 depicted the full vessel and also gave the sound, while 宀 (roof) marked the home. Over time the meaning shifted from 'full vessel' to 'wealth, abundance, rich.'
足 — top 口 (mouth/enclosure) + bottom 止 (foot)
Originally a pictograph of a leg and foot, with the upper square representing the knee or shin and the lower part 止 depicting the foot itself. It primarily means 'foot' and by extension 'sufficient' or 'enough,' a meaning shift likely from the idea of standing firmly or having a solid footing.
