見地
けんち · kenchi · JLPT N1 · noun
point of view
🔭 見 = see + 地 = ground: the ground you see from, i.e. your standpoint
見 means to see, as in 見る. 地 means ground or place. A 見地 is the place you look from, so it means point of view.
地 — earth 土 + 也 (phonetic)
地 is a semantic-phonetic compound. The left component 土 means 'earth' or 'soil' and gives the meaning, while 也 on the right hints at the pronunciation. Originally referring to the ground or land, it broadened to mean 'place,' 'region,' and 'territory.'
