Did you notice 毎 shares the same shape as 母 (mother)? That’s because 毎 is derived from it. In ancient scripts, 毎 included a small element (ハ) added above 母, possibly representing adornment or emphasis. While 母 represents nurturing, 毎 came to symbolize routine, repetition, or regularity—like something a caring parent does every day. This connection makes it easy to remember the meaning “every” or “each.”
