The Shuōwén Seal form of 等(􀱸) děng ‘arrange bamboo strips’ combines 竹 (zhú) ‘bamboo’, and 寺(􀡼) ‘court/palace official’.
竹 probably stands for 竹简 zhújiǎn, the bamboo strips which were used for writing on before the invention of paper. Hence, record keeping, order, classification; (belonging to the same class:) equal.

Note: 等 děng ‘arrange bamboo strips/records’ → ‘order/classify’ → ‘of a class, equal’.
sì ‘temple’ is part of 等 děng due to an etymological accident. An ancient word sounded similar to 寺 sì, so it was written 等, with 竹 signific and 寺 phonetic. That word disappeared, and the character was borrowed to represent a synonym, now pronounced děng.

Note: Karlgren reconstructed OC dzi̯əg ‘hall; eunuch’, and 等 təg/təng ‘classify’ (GSR).
