The Shuōwén Seal form of 所 suǒ ‘(on.) chopping wood’, combines 斤 (jīn) ‘axe’ (chop), and 户(戶) hù ‘door/swing’ (phonosemantic): the swinging of an axe (like a door), chopping wood (hard work).
Note: Formerly 所所 (onomatopoeic) ‘the sound of chopping wood’, also used to wr. various grammatical function morphemes such as 所 suǒ ‘place/location’ (处所); ‘that which’ (所在).
Note: (诗) (伐木) 伐木許許 “Xu-xu they go, as they fell the trees.” (Legge)
Note: (SW:) 所所 → 許許 (SJ); cf. 所 suǒ ← MC /ʂjoʔ/; 許 ← MC /xjoʔ/ (SBGY).
“[所] To 斤 build a 户 living place” —Karlgren(AD).
Note: In the modern character (simple and full) 所⿰戶斤 the left-side component is properly wr. 戶 (full form) rather than 户 (simple form); this is a conservative calligraphic feature, harmonizing the top 丿 piě strokes of 戶 and 斤; the alternative form ⿰户斤 is not completely unknown (though it is not the standard simple form).
Compare: 听/聽 tīng ‘listen/hear’.
