The phrase traces a path from a cause to a visual realization, much like a traveler discovering truth through sight.

Origin

The phrase is composed of the characters 由, meaning "cause; reason"; 此, meaning "this"; 可, meaning "can; may; be able to"; and 見, meaning "to see".

Regarding the individual characters, 此 contains the components 止 ("foot") and 人 ("man; person; people"). The character 可 uses 口 ("mouth, especially the lips and internal mouth cavity") as a semantic component and 丂 ("the appearance of air which is to be released") as a phonetic component. The character 丂 itself is composed of 𠃑 and 一 ("one"). Finally, 見 is formed with the components 目 ("eye") and 卩 ("kneeling person").

「由此可見」是由「由」、「此」、「可」、「見」這四個漢字構成的詞組。其中，「由」代表原因或理由；「此」代表「這個」；「可」表示「可以、能夠」；「見」則是「看見」的意思。

在字形結構上，「此」包含了「止」（腳）與「人」（人、個人）這兩個組成部分。「可」字由「口」（嘴巴）作為意義部分，並以「丂」（空氣釋放的樣子）作為聲音部分，而「丂」又由「𠃑」與「一」組成。「見」字則是由「目」（眼睛）與「卩」（跪著的人）所構成。
