From ​ (chì) ‘imperial command’ over ​ zhèng ‘straight, correct’. 整 and ​ are cognate.
    “(Make straight:) regulate, arrange, adjust, repair; complete, whole — the signific is ​ command; certain commentators, however, take the parts separately: ‘to ​ bind and ​ beat a little, so as to make it ​ straight’” —Karlgren.
