Word origin
A two-character compound meaning enough or sufficient. Both characters can independently mean enough: 足 (zú) is a pictograph of the leg and foot that also took on the sense of sufficient, and 够 (gòu) means enough or to reach. Pairing them reinforces the meaning of having a sufficient amount.
