The character 做 zuò ‘make/do’ combines 亻(人 rén) ‘person’, and 故 (gù) ‘cause’; a person makes/causes something to be/happen; formerly wr. 作(􁗗).
 
The character 做 zuò ‘make/do’ combines 亻(人 rén) ‘person’, and 故 (gù) ‘cause’; a person makes/causes something to be/happen; formerly wr. 作(􁗗).
Note: 做 does not seem to be a very old form (it is not in SW or SBGY), but HDZ includes an old inscriptional form like 故/做 under 作(􁗗), in which a shape like 古(􀘔) corresp. to 乍(􂍸𠆦), cf. 拃.

Note: 做 does not seem to be a very old form (it is not in SW or SBGY), 作 is the older character; but HDZ includes an old inscriptional form like 故/做 under 作(􁗗), in which a shape like 古(􀘔) corresp. to 乍(􂍸𠆦), cf. 拃.
Compare: 作(􁗗) zuò ‘do/make’ (also zuō/zuó/zǔ/zhà), which is the older character; it seems that the form 做 was invented to specify 做 ‘make’ (more concrete), vs. 作 ‘do’ (more abstract), but today 作/做 zuò seem synonymous in modern Mandarin (is only read zuò); GFC(2010) has 70 entries under 作, but only 39 under 做 (some of which are also wr. 作); only a few of the 39 are distinguished from something wr. 作, the main example being: 做派 ‘acting (theatre)’ (做功), vs. 作派 ‘style (of doing)’ (派头); in general, use the older form 作 in formal expressions, with abstract object/result (and when in doubt), but use 做 in colloquial/informal expressions, with concrete object/result.

Compare: 作(􁗗) zuò ‘do/make’, which is the older character; it seems that the form 做 was invented to specify 做 ‘make’ (more concrete), vs. 作 ‘do’ (more abstract), and this is how the modern PRC distinction is characterized (GFC); 作 is perhaps less common outside of formal usage, except as a noun (工作, 作业); GFC(2010) has 70 entries under 作, but only 39 under 做 (some of which are also wr. 作); only a few of the 39 are distinguished from something wr. 作, the main example being: 做派 ‘acting (theatre)’ (做功), vs. 作派 ‘style (of doing)’ (派头); in general, use the older form 作 in formal expressions, with abstract object/result, but use 做 in colloquial/informal expressions, with concrete object/result.
