About

The word "出席" is formed by combining the character "出", meaning "to go out" or "to emerge", with "席", meaning "mat" or "seat", which by extension denotes a meeting or gathering. Together, they literally convey the idea of emerging to take a seat, thus semantically representing the act of attending or being present at an event.
