About

The word "寻常" is formed by combining the character "寻", which originally referred to an ancient unit of length, with "常", meaning constant or usual. Their conjunction creates a compound where the measurement concept from "寻" and the regularity from "常" together imply something of standard measure, thus denoting what is ordinary or common.
