既婚

きこん · kikon · JLPT N1 · na-adj

married

既 — 皀 (food vessel) + 旡 (person turning away)
Originally a pictograph of a person turning away from a food vessel, signaling a finished meal. From this came the meanings 'already' and 'completed.' The modern sense 'since' or 'now that' developed by extension from the idea of an action already done.
