The kanji 格 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). The phonetic component is 各 (kaku) which provides the sound, and the semantic component is 木 (ki/moku) meaning "tree" or "wood." Initially, it might have referred to the framework or structure of a wooden object, which then extended to represent the framework or structure of a system or standard, thus evolving to mean "status," "rank," or "grade." The addition of 木 may have been intended to suggest the "frame" or "structure" inherent in an object.
