The kanji 祉 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字 - keisei moji). It is composed of the radical 示 (礻), which signifies "spirit" or "altar," and the phonetic component 止 (shi), which gives a clue to the pronunciation and originally meant "to stop". The combination of 示 (礻) and 止 suggests an act that would bring "spiritual benefit" or "blessing". The structure implies a connection to divine favor and the positive outcome it brings, and the phonetic component provided the reading and helped to clarify the meaning.
