Pictogram (象形) : 乂 + 乂 – 2 stacked ‘X’ marks. Some possible explanations exist:
- two couples of yarrow stalks to perform divinations (see also 學 and 覺)
- two couples of bamboo slips to perform calculations (see also 算 and perhaps both 學 and 覺)
- two marks to mean "crossing" (compare 交) or two marks with a general meaning (see 駁)
Similar but most likely unrelated to the original form of 五.
