JLPT0 G13 S0 F2078

止 (leg/foot) + an abbreviated form# of 比 (line up) → legs/feet lined up irregularly. *This/these* (*here*) and (in) *this way* are borrowed meanings. As an independent character, 此 is regarded to consist of six strokes, but five when used as an element in a dual-element character (compare the treatment of stroke counts in 臣).
