<WL>夬 [guài] (卦名) ䷪ Break-through (Resoluteness)@@; (HDZ:) … [jué] 決/玦: 钩弦器 (扳指 ‘archer's thumb ring’); 损伤, 伤怀; cf. 決/决定 [quē] 缺
The Shuōwén Seal form of 夬(􀠚叏) jué is said to combine 又(􀠋) yòu ‘right hand’ (cf. 右), and a shape above like 夊(􀺧) depicting an archer’s ivory thumbring (the vertical line is the bowstring, as in ).

The Shuōwén Seal form of 夬(􀠚叏) guài/jué ‘resolve/decide/choose’ (分決: 决断; 剛決/夬: 刚毅果断) is said to combine 又(􀠋) yòu ‘right hand’ (cf. 右), with a shape above like 夊(􀺧) representing a forked thing (path) split by a vertical line representing a decision/choice (of one path over the other).
Note: In ancient archery the thumbring was used to protect the thumb of the archer’s right hand from the bowstring (to prevent blisters when drawing a strong bow); such thumbrings were made of ivory, bone, jade, metal, wood, or leather (cf. 韘, 拾; 韝); modern archers often wear a leather finger tab instead (drawing the bow with the fingers rather than the thumb).
+
Note: The SW gloss involves a pun on 决/決(􁻌𣲺) jué ‘resolve/decide/choose’ (决定 juédìng ‘decide’, 决断 juéduàn ‘decisiveness/resolution’).
Older graphs associated with 夬/玦 seem to show two hands holding a large U shape (王宏源), a penannular jade ring symbolizing authority.
+
Compare: ䷪ 夬 guài, in which the ⚊ strong lines below resolve to drive out the top weak line ⚋ (a decision which will result in ䷀).
Note: ䷪ 夬 guài (not jué); the meaning ‘break-through’ is extended from “the bursting loose of the bow string” (Karlgren: AD440).
+
Compare: 筷 kuài ‘chopsticks’, formerly wr. 快(􁲑𢘦), in which the top of 夬(􀠚叏) suggests a pair of chopsticks picking up a noodle; 块/塊(􂘹􂘸凷) kuài ‘chunk’.
Compare: 决/決 jué (as in 决定 juédìng ‘decide’, 决断 juéduàn ‘decisiveness/resolution’).
+
Note: 夬(􀠚叏) jué ‘archer's ivory thumbring’ (決: 扳指; cf. 玦/抉/𢎹, 彏), in which the vertical line represents the bowstring (as in 引); the thumbring was used in anc. archery to protect the thumb of the archer's right hand from the bowstring (to prevent blisters when shooting a strong bow); such thumbrings were made of ivory, bone, jade, metal, wood, or leather (cf. 韘, 拾; 韝); modern archers often wear a leather finger tab instead (drawing the bow with the fingers rather than the thumb); cf. 抉拾.
