(Explanation from the entry for the simple form 较:) The character 较/較 jué ‘horizontal/linking member of a carriage compartment’ (serving as seats/etc.) combines 车/車 (chē) ‘carriage’, and 交() jiāo ‘cross/link’ (phonosemantic); formerly wr. 䡈(), with 爻() yáo (phonosemantic).
Note: Today mainly 较/較 jiào ‘compare’ (比较, 较量); cf. 角 jué ‘compete’ (比试); cf. 䡈() jiào ‘war chariot’.
Compare: 校() jiào ‘cangue/shackles’, today mainly 校 xiào ‘school’ (学校 xuéxiào).
Compare: 绞/絞() jiǎo ‘strangle, hang (by the neck, to death)’.
