📍 土 earth + 昜 sunlit: open ground in the sun, a place; ba sounds like bar
The left part 土 means earth or ground. The right part 昜 means sun rising over open land, and it also gave the old sound. A sunny piece of ground is a place. In physics the same word means a field, as in 磁場 (じば), magnetic field.
