The character 定 (8 strokes) was formerly wr. 𡧡, with 正 below instead of 𤴓 (as in 是/昰); cf. 是.
Note: In 定 the lower part 𤴓 is a combining variant form of 正 (not 疋 or 止).
The Shuōwén Seal form of 定(𡧡) dìng ‘fixed/regular/stable’ (安定) combines 宀 (mián) ‘roof/domain’, and 𤴓/正 zhèng ‘right/true’ (phonosemantic): within one's home/domain (where one has settled), things are right/regular/orderly/stable, or else, where there is trouble/disorganization, examine things and settle them down decisively, arrange/organize them.
Compare: 政 zhèng ‘rectify/correct/rule’; 顶/頂 dǐng ‘top/crown (of the head)’.
Compare: 是(昰𣆞) shì; 走(𧺆) zǒu.
Note: For variation 订/定 dìng ‘conclude/sign (treaty/contract/agreement); order (goods)’, cf. 订.
