The kanji 時時 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). The left side is 日(にち、hi), which means "sun" or "day," representing the time of day. The right side is 寺(てら、tera), which originally depicted a temple and later represented a sound component. Together, they combine the concept of the sun's position (daytime) with the concept of a temple (indicating an important time or duration) to convey the meaning of "time" or "hour."
