The Shuōwén Seal form of 已/以(㠯) yǐ ‘already/use’ split into two characters with different modern usage: (1) 已 yǐ ‘already (use up)’, and (2) 以 yǐ ‘use (employ)’; the form 已 resembles the old form 㠯 more closely; the old form 㠯, also written 厶, as in 台, 牟, is abbreviated to in 以 yǐ (with 人 added on the right). In Shuōwén the Seal form of 已(㠯) yǐ is said to be 巳 sì ‘fetus/embryo’ inverted, depict the fetus in the “head-down” position “ready” for easy (non-breach) birth; cf. 巳 (in old texts conflated with 已/似).
已(㠯) ‘use’ → ‘all ready, already, finished, used up’;
以(㠯) ‘use’ → 以 ‘use as, consider as’ (以为).
Compare: 己(𢀒) jǐ ‘self’; 巳 sì ‘fetus/embryo’; 似(佀) sì ‘like/similar’.
“㠯 a symbol the analysis of which is uncertain, but which is said to indicate an exhalation, an outcry (and serves in this sense e.g. in 牟 móu): hough! voila! it’s finished!” —Karlgren (AD:179).
HDZ: 已 : yǐ : 止, 停止; 完成, 完毕; 罢免, 黜退; 废弃; 病愈; 一定, 比然; 不允许; 最终, 终归; 从前, 已往; (代词) 此; (副词) (已经; 已而, 随后; 太, 甚; 又); 以; 與; (语气词)
