“The seal has 匕(人) and 矢 to the left, and 子 and 止 to the right; interpretation uncertain” —Karlgren(1923).

The Shuōwén Seal form of 疑(􂥟) yí ‘perplexed/doubt/suspect’ (疑惑) combines 子(􂥍𠯃) zǐ ‘child’ (young/foolish), 𠤗(􁙑𠤜) yí ‘uncertain/undecided’ (phonosemantic), and 止(􀑥) zhǐ ‘foot/stop’ (phonosemantic); a toddler (not walking yet), uncertain on its feet (like walking on ice, cf. 疑/凝 níng); formerly wr. 𠤗(􁙑𠤜).

The right side mutated slightly, from 子 (zǐ) ‘child’ over 止 (zhǐ) ‘stop’, to 龴 over 疋. 矢 (shǐ) is an arrow. 匕 is 人 (rén) a person’s body, sideways. Apparently we have a 矢 weapon, and a 匕 victim (who’s been 止 stopped dead). Can there be any 疑 doubt that the 子 child is our only suspect?

Note: In the old form 𠤗(􁙑𠤜) the left-side component 𥎨/𠤕 (not in SW) is said to be an old wr. of the same character, or an old wr. of 矢(􀹜) shǐ ‘arrow’; also assoc. with 矣(􀹧) yǐ (cf. 𠤘).
