The Shuōwén Seal form of 係 jì/xì ‘tie/bind’ combines 亻(人 rén) ‘person’, and 系 xì ‘link/bind’ (phonosemantic); formerly wr. 系, the form 係 was created to distinguish ‘tie’ meanings of 系 from ‘link’.
Note: 係 does not occur among simple form characters, 系 is always used instead (cf. 系).
Compare: 繫 jì ‘inferior silk/cloth’, jì/xì ‘tie/bind/link’.
Note: MC homophones 係, 繫, 繼 jì (音 “計”) (SBGY).
Older graphs associated with 係 are thought to depict a person bound round the neck with a rope (HDZ); cf. 县/縣.
HDZ: 係 : xì : 拴结, 捆绑; 系物的带、绳; 继续, 连续; 维系, 关联; 是, 属; (姓)
