遠足
えんそく · ensoku · JLPT N2 · noun
picnic
🥾🍙 遠 far + 足 foot = going far on foot: a school trip or hike
遠 (en) means far, as in 遠い, and 足 (soku) means foot or leg. Put together, it means going a long way on foot. In Japan, 遠足 usually means a school outing, often with a packed rice-ball lunch.
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.
