The top 𦥯 shows two hands around 爻 (yáo) lines in the symbols of the 《易经》 Yì Jīng Book of Changes, over 冖 something like a cover. One uncovers the truth by grasping the 爻 changes. 子 (zǐ) ‘child’ was added to the bottom since children are good at learning.
The simple form 学, in which the top is three dots, is at least as old as the fourth century A.D. Distinguish it from 字 zì which has only one dot on top. Compare 觉(覺) jué ‘feel’ and 教 jiāo jiào ‘teach’.
