🖼️ 展 (unfold/display) + 出 (out) = put on display out in the open = exhibit
展 means to spread open or display; 出 means out or to put forth. Together: bring something out to be shown publicly, like art at a gallery.
出 — foot 止 emerging from enclosure 凵
出 is a pictograph showing a foot or plant stepping out of a hollow or enclosure, depicting the act of going forth. The original sense of 'coming out' or 'emerging' has remained stable since oracle bone script. It now broadly means 'to exit, go out, or produce.'
