親
Meaning:
In Japanese, 親 means “parent”.
How to read it:
| Kunyomi | おや、した |
| Onyomi | しん |
How to write it:
Origin:
親＝亲＋見。
亲＝立＋木。
立 means “to stand”，木 means “tree”，見 means “to see”.
When you lost your way, your parents will worry about you, and they will stand at the tree so that they can see you.
So 親 stands for “parent”.
