The door radical looks like a watch and it surrounds the center part witch looks like it can display the TIME.

The character looks like a door, and doors lead to rooms where you spend time.

The word looks like both a clock and Saturn with its rings, which both represent time and space respectively.

It looks slightly like a never ending hallway and time will keep going and going while you try to get to the door.

if you look at the radical and the individual meanings of 日and 门 then you can see it is a sun inside a door. Now, how I interpret this is when you open the door and see it is sunny outside, you then have an idea of what TIME it is.

Opening a door creates more space and when you see the sun you want to spend more time outdoors.

i think the door radical surrounding the eye character looks like a clock, with the eye character being the hour and the minute signs

The radical of sun inside the door somehow reminds me of an hourglass ⌛️, which makes me assimilate the meaning of the character

It looks like a clock with the little line on the upper right corner being the clock hand, which could be used to remember the word “time.”

This character can be thought of as someone in a TIME machine.
