The left side  is from the bottom of (shí) ‘eat’; it depicts a pot of food. The right side 旡 is a person facing away from the food, already having eaten. Hence ‘already’. Compare 即 jí ‘immediately’, where the person is just about to eat, and 鄉(乡) xiāng ‘countryside’ where two folks are eating together.

The Shuōwén Seal form of 既(􀷗旣) jì ‘finished/exhausted/already’ combines 皀(􀷕) jí ‘fragrant grain’, and 旡(􁟮㒫) jì ‘belch (after eating)’ (phonetic).
The right side was later re-interpreted as 旡 ‘belch’ (phonetic), which is what you do after eating.

In old graphs (OBI) associated with 既 it is said that 旡 depicts a person looking away from the food, already having eaten and about to leave; and by extension ‘finished/exhausted/already; total eclipse (solar or lunar)’ (HDZ).
A variant form is 旣.
