The kanji 卸 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). The left side is the radical 卩 (also written as ⺋), which is a variant of 卩and means "seal" or "kneeling person," and the right side is 午 (go), which means "noon" or "midday". The original meaning of 卸 might have been related to the act of "unloading" or "taking down" goods at midday when business activity was at its peak. It evolved to represent wholesale trade and the act of selling goods in bulk. The radical ⺋ here suggests the idea of a transaction or delivery.
