足る
たる · taru · JLPT N2 · verb-godan
to be sufficient
🦶 足 means foot; 足る = to have enough, like a foot reaching the ground
Shares the kanji 足 (foot, leg) with 足りる (tariru), its more common everyday form meaning enough. Both verbs express sufficiency, so learn them together.
足 — top 口 (mouth/enclosure) + bottom 止 (foot)
Originally a pictograph of a leg and foot, with the upper square representing the knee or shin and the lower part 止 depicting the foot itself. It primarily means 'foot' and by extension 'sufficient' or 'enough,' a meaning shift likely from the idea of standing firmly or having a solid footing.
