(Hey, maybe all this talk about the character will finally get it to stick in my head! :p)

Hah, yes. XD Now you just need to associate all this with "most" somehow...

googling around just now it seems the top component may have originated as neither 日 nor 曰, but as 冃

Oh, cool, that's the way I've been writing it. XD But I'm glad to know what radical(s?) it's filed under, too, now. (And also hopefully now if I see it with an actual 日 on top I won't be confused!)

ETA: So on Wiktionary the definition page shows that 日 is the radical, but then meanwhile, the character is listed on both the radical page for 日 and the page for 冂... So maybe it actually has a different radical in traditional vs. simplified...
