The full-form character 嗇(􀺐𠾂) sè ‘stingy’ (formerly ‘reap/harvest’, now written 穡) combines 來(􀺕) lái ‘grain’, and 㐭(􀺊) lǐn ‘(double-walled) granary’.

The full-form character 嗇(􀺐𠾂) sè ‘thrifty/stingy’ (formerly ‘ripe/reap’, now wr. 穡) combines 來(􀺕) lái ‘grain’, and 㐭(􀺊) lǐn ‘(double-walled) granary’: the thrifty/stingy farmer stores/hoards every bit of ripe grain reaped in the harvest, in preparation for the long cold winter.
In the common full form 嗇 both components are abbeviated (來 becomes , and 㐭 becomes 回); in the modern simple form 來 becomes 来 (abbreviated to ).
