The kanji 郡 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). The left side is the radical 阝, which is the "countryside; town" radical. The right side is 君 which originally meant "ruler; lord". Therefore, the kanji 郡 combines the meaning of "land; place" with a sense of "governance." This combination suggests a defined territory or region under the control of a governing body or official.
