Etymology
Ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意). At the top of the character is possibly a representation of a room at the centre of a corridor (compare 良); at the bottom, there is a foot pointing down 夊. The original meaning is "going back", with perhaps a reference to meet people such as in a guest room. Original version of 復. Unrelated to 夏. The top component of the character is unrelated to 每, 傷, 旅, 乞 as well as 人.
