家族 house+clan = family. 家庭 house+garden = home. 家口 house+mouth = household (counted by mouths to feed).
國家 country+house — a nation is a large household. So far, all real houses. Now the twist.
作家 writer, 畫家 painter, 專門家 expert — 家 here is not a building but a body of mastery one has built up.
일가를 이루다 = to build one house of one's own — to reach mastery. 대가 = a great house. Houses are not built in a day.
家 has two faces: the house you live in, and the house you build by doing one thing for a long time. Keep at something and a house grows inside you.
