名物
めいぶつ · meibutsu · JLPT N2 · noun
merchandise
🏭 meibutsu = mei (famous, 名) + butsu (thing, 物): a famous thing a place is known for
Think of a town's signature product, like a region's famous sweets or crafts. 名 means famous and 物 means thing, so the word literally says famous thing.
名 — evening 夕 + mouth 口
A compound ideograph: in the dark of evening (夕), one cannot recognize others by sight, so the mouth (口) calls out a name to identify oneself. The original sense of 'name' broadened to include reputation, fame, and a measure word for people.
