Glyph origin

edit

Ideogrammic compound (會意／会意) : 干 + 干 (“trunk”). Two trunks are of the same height.

Also Simplified from 開 (elimination of 門).

As a component in composite characters, the part is not directly related to 開 and instead originally derives from 井 (such as in 刑, 型, etc.) or from 幵 (such as in 研, 形, etc.).
