The Shuōwén Seal form of 整 zhěng ‘(put in) good/neat/proper order’ combines ​ chì ‘admonish/exort/command’, and ​ zhèng ‘straight/correct’ (phonosemantic).
    Compare: ​ zhèng ‘rectify/correct/rule’; ​ zhèng ‘criticize/admonish, accuse/prove’; ​/​ zhèng ‘prove’.
    Compare: ​ chì ‘put in good order’, formerly also wr. ​.
    Note: Received SW texts identify the components as ​ and ​, not ​, which seems to be an oversight (XK, XX, DYC), as sometimes noted (HDZ).
    “[整] (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(AD).
