日の出
ひので · hinode · JLPT N2 · noun
dawn
🌅 ひ (sun) + の (of) + で (emerge): the sun's emerging, sounds like 'he no day'
日 means sun or day and の links the words; で comes from 出る, to emerge. So 日の出 is literally the sun's emerging.
日 — pictograph of the sun
日 is a pictograph of the sun, originally drawn as a circle with a dot or stroke inside representing the sun's substance. Over time the round shape was squared off into the modern rectangular form. It means 'sun' and by extension 'day'.
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.'
