with no visible arms. Children are swaddled to comfort them. They won’t stop crying until the swaddling is complete, so it’s good to be able to finish quickly.

The Shuowen defines as "the crossing of lower legs". In the Shuowen Jiezi Zhu, a commentary to the Shuowen Jiezi, it is said that the pictogram instead depicts entangled legs . The meaning "to finish" is likely a sound loan, but an argument can be made for "entangled legs" → "tie" → "finish".
