績
績 = 糸 + 責
ㄐㄧ · jī
noun — achievement, result; verb — to spin fibers into thread
字源 FORM — what the parts do
糸義silk thread, fibers
IFzé → jī — the reading shifted hard from the donor
Fibers (糸) twisted strand onto strand until they make a continuous thread — that patient joining is 績. 責 carries the sound, far worn from zé to jī. The work of building thread bit by bit became any result earned by steady effort: 成績、功績、業績.
故事 STORY — a scene to remember it by
手指把短纖維(糸)一段段捻接,搓成一根長線。
Fingers twist short fibers (糸) end to end, joining them into one long thread.
