(Explanation from the entry for the simple form 会:) The simple-form character 会 (6 strokes) is an abbrev. of the full-form character 會 (13 strokes), keeping the upper full-form part 亼 (3 strokes), and replacing the rest (10 strokes) with a shape like 𠫔 (3 strokes).
Note: In the simple form 会 the bottom part looks like 云 yún ‘clouds’, as in 层/層 céng ‘layer/level’, but 云 is not a traditional component of 会/會 (cf. 气 below).
The Shuōwén Seal form of 會() huì ‘come/put together, meet’ is said to combine 亼() jí ‘together’ (as in 合), and 曾() zēng/céng (abbrev.); formerly wr. 㣛(), with the old form of 合() on the right, and 气() qì ‘steam’ on the left (not 彳), as in 欠().
Note: The component 曾 here is assoc. with 增() zēng ‘increase’ (stack/pile up/together, layer upon layer), formerly wr. 曾.
Compare: 甑() zèng ‘(stacked) steamer basket’ (竹蒸笼); 橧 zēng ‘nest’ (basket), formerly also wr. 增, 竲, cf. 曾.
Compare: 层/層() céng ‘floor/story (of a multi-story building), level/layer’.
Older graphs associated with 會 are thought to depict a 甑 zèng ‘lidded/stacked steamer basket’ (甑子): to stack/assemble, put together the 曾 ‘multi-level steamer basket’ with 亼 ‘lid’.
“[會] To 亼 meet (ancient form of 集) round the 𡆧 fire (cf. 黑) and 曰 chat” —Karlgren(AD).
Compare: 合 hé ‘combine’; 囱/囪(𡆧) cōng ‘vent/chimney’; 曰() yuē ‘speak’.
Compare: 狯/獪() kuài ‘cunning/sly/crafty’; 侩/儈 kuài ‘broker/middleman’; 浍/澮() kuài ‘irrigation ditch’, formerly wr. 巜().
