The kanji 靖 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, けいせいもじ). The left side is the radical 青 (ao), which originally depicted a well or a well-like structure. The right side is 爭, which gives the sound. Therefore, 靖 combines the meanings related to 青 and the phonetic element from 爭. The combination of these elements created the meaning of "peace" or "calmness". The character evolved over time, taking on its current form.
