有望
ゆうぼう · yuubou · JLPT N1 · na-adj
good prospects
🌅 有 (have) + 望 (look afar): having something to gaze toward, i.e. good prospects ahead
有望 literally means 'to have something to look forward to.' 望 is 'to gaze into the distance', so the word describes a future that looks bright when you look ahead.
有 — hand 𠂇 + moon/meat 月
Originally depicted a hand holding a piece of meat (月 here is the 'meat' radical, not moon), expressing the idea of possessing something. Over time the meaning broadened from 'to hold/possess' to the general sense of 'to have' or 'there is/exists'.
望 — 亡 (phonetic) + 月 moon + 王 king/standing figure
Originally a pictograph of a person standing on tiptoe gazing at the moon, expressing the idea of looking far into the distance. Over time the figure was reshaped and 亡 was added as a phonetic element. The meaning extended from 'gaze afar' to 'hope for' or 'expect.'
