Originally a cauldron (pictograph nearly identical to 員) with changed person 𠤎 above it; referring to cauldron the I Ching states ‘the superior man consolidates his fate by making his position correct’; the cauldron looking like a cowrie was changed to 貝; then - due to similarity in meaning to 直 – 1014-6 was added dividing the top and bottom of 貝 thus turning the bottom into 丌: confused yet? This component can signify upside-down – see 顛 and 慎 |
