Origin and Formation

The kanji is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), a phono-semantic compound. The phonetic component is the character (shi, meaning "to show" or "to indicate"), and the semantic component, which provides meaning, is believed to be related to the concept of displaying or presenting something for inspection. It originally depicted a small slip of paper or wooden tablet used for marking or identifying something. Over time, the form and the meaning evolved to represent tickets, ballots, and other forms of proof or evidence.
