Origin and Formation

The kanji is a pictophonetic character. ⚫︎The left side is "虍" (tiger), this is a semantic component that, in this case, has been simplified from "虍" and represents a place of hiding or a dangerous place. ⚫︎The right side "几" represents a table or a stand, indicating something is being "handled" or "dealt with". The combination of the two suggests a place or location where something is dealt with, resolved, or put in order.
