(Explanation from the entry for the simple form 确:) The simple-form character 确 (12 strokes) is an old form, re-used as an abbrev. of the (younger) full-form character 確 (15 strokes), replacing the full-form component 隺 (10 strokes) with 角 (7 strokes).
The full-form character 確 què ‘hard/solid’, with 石 (shí) ‘stone’ and 隺() hè/què (phonetic), is a more recent development (not in SW); the form 確 arose to signify more abstract senses formerly wr. 确(), and also 塙(), 礭.
The Shuōwén Seal form of 确() què ‘rocky/hard/poor soil; hard/poor’ combines 石 (shí) ‘stone’ (rocky/hard), and 角(𧢲) jiǎo/jué ‘horn’ (phonosemantic); formerly also wr. 𥔼() with 㱿() què ‘hard shell’ (phonosemantic).
Compare: 愨(慤) què ‘honest/circumspect’, later wr. 确/確 què ‘true/correct’.
Compare: 确/角 jué, 角逐 juézhú ‘butt heads/horns; compete’ (cf. 埆).
Compare: 埆, 礐, 觷.
HDZ: 确 : què : 土地多石而贫瘠; 坚硬; 薄, 不丰厚; 确实, 确切 (cf. 愨); 角 (jué): 角逐, 竞争 (cf. 埆); 搉: 敲打; 礐: 山多大石; (简体) 確
