The Shuōwén Seal form of 所 suǒ ‘sound of chopping wood’, combines 斤 (jīn) ‘axe’, and 户(戶) hù ‘door/swing’ (phonosemantic): the swinging of an axe (like a door), chopping wood.
    Note: Formerly 所所 (onomatopoeic) ‘the sound of chopping wood’, reused to wr. various grammatical function morphemes ‘place/location’ (处所); ‘that which’ (所在) etc.
    “To 斤 build a 户 living place” —Karlgren(AD).
    Note: the left-side component ‘door’ is properly written with 戶 (the “full” form) rather than with 户 (simple); this is a conservative calligraphic feature, harmonizing the top 丿 piě strokes of 戶 and 斤, but the alternative form with 户 and 斤 is not completely unknown (though it is not the standard simple form).
