The kanji 置 is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), a phono-semantic compound. It combines a phonetic component (音符, onpu) with a semantic component (意符, ifu). The semantic component is 耂, which is simplified to 老 (rō) meaning "old". The phonetic component is 直 (choku/jiki), which gives a clue about the sound. 置 originally depicted a hand (represented by 　寸) placing something on the ground. The character's meaning evolved from "to put" or "to place" to also encompass "to set up," "to establish," or "to leave".
