About
The character 每 structurally incorporates the component 母, and its earliest attested meaning conveyed a sense of abundance or luxuriant growth. Over time, this meaning shifted to serve as a distributive pronoun, specifically indicating "each" or "every", a function firmly established by the classical era. The persistent presence of 母 within its composition points to an etymological link with ideas of source and plurality, which underpinned the semantic transition from denoting physical profusion to expressing universal quantification.
