目印
めじるし · mejirushi · JLPT N2 · noun
landmark
🪧 目 (eye) + 印 (seal/stamp): a mark your eye can spot
目 means eye and 印 means stamp or seal, so 目印 is a mark that catches the eye. Use it for landmarks, signposts, and trail markers.
印 — hand 爪 (claw) + kneeling person 卩
Originally a pictograph showing a hand pressing down on a kneeling figure, depicting the act of stamping or sealing. The meaning extended from 'to press a seal' to the seal itself, and then to 'print' or 'imprint' in modern usage.
