ご多分 is composed of the polite prefix ご (御) and 多分 (たぶん), which originally meant 'many parts' or 'large portion'. The phrase ご多分に漏れず literally means 'without leaking from the majority', i.e., 'as is usual with most people'. The irregular kanji forms 他聞 and 多聞 are likely ateji or phonetic substitutions.
