The character 思 (9 strokes) was formerly wr. 𢙦/恖 (10 strokes), replacing the old component 囟/𦥓 (6 strokes) with a shape like 田 (5 strokes).
The Shuōwén Seal form of 思(𢙦恖) sī ‘think/thought’ is said to combine 心 xīn ‘heart/feeling/mind’, and 囟(𦥓) xīn ‘fontanel’ (phonosemantic).
Note: The component 囟(𦥓) xīn ‘fontanel’ (top of a child's head) functions here is as in 脑/腦(匘) nǎo ‘brain’, cf. 细/細(𥿳) xì ‘fine (as silk)’.
Note: In received SW texts 思 is glossed 容 róng ‘capacity’ (variously justified, e.g. ‘mental capacity’); DYC wisely emends that to 䜭 jùn ‘(swift thought, like a) swift-flowing river plunging into a gorge/abyss’ (☵); but cf. 䜭/睿(壡叡) ruì ‘sage/wise’, cf. HDC 睿思 (圣明的思虑), 锐思 (用心专一; 敏锐的思想).
Compare: 思(𢙦恖) sī ← MC /sji/sjis/; 心 xīn ← MC /siem/; 囟(𦥓) xīn ← MC /siens/ (SBGY).
Compare: 息 xī ‘breathe/pant’ ← MC /sjik/; 信 xìn ‘honest/true; believe’ ← MC /siens/ (SBGY).
Compare: 讯/訊(𧨼) xùn ‘ask/inquire’ ← MC /siens/; 西(㢴卥卤) xī ← MC /si/ (SBGY).
Compare: 慮 lǜ ‘consider’; 胸(𦙄匈凶) xiōng ‘chest/breast/thorax’; 忷/恟 xiōng ‘fear’.
Compare: 蕙(𢥁𦻇𢞨) huì ‘benevolence/compassion’, later wr. 惠; old variants such as 𦻇/𢞨 suggest 厶 sī ‘cocoon/private’ (phonosemantic) in old 思 forms; cf. 惠.
Compare: 恩 ēn ‘favor/grace/kindness’ (恩惠).
