各種
かくしゅ · kakushu · JLPT N1 · noun
kind
🍎🥕 各 = each + 種 = kind, so 各種 = each kind, all sorts
種 also means seed, and each seed type is a different kind. 各 appears in 各国 (each country), which shows its 'each' sense.
各 — 夂 (foot coming down) + 口 (mouth/enclosure)
Originally depicted a foot (夂) arriving at a dwelling or settlement (口), suggesting 'each one arriving' at their own place. From this came the meaning 'each' or 'every,' emphasizing individual instances. The character is now used purely for this grammatical sense.
