侍

Phono-semantic compound:

人 (인, “person”) – provides the meaning (a person performing service);

寺 (사, “temple”) – provides the sound.

Appears in words like 侍中 (시중, “royal attendant” or “one who serves closely”).

In Japanese, this character is commonly read さむらい (samurai) and refers to the warrior class.

Originally, 侍 meant “one who serves (an aristocrat or lord)”, which is why it later became synonymous with samurai in Japan.
