The kanji 秩秩 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). The right side, 朕 (chin/watakushi), originally meant "I, me" (used by emperors), and it provided the sound. The left side, 禾 (kome), means "grain" or "rice." The combination of these components likely originally implied the orderly arrangement of grains or crops, reflecting the organization of harvest and taxation. This eventually evolved to represent general order and sequence.
