sign, tag

簽 is composed of the radical 竹 (bamboo) and 僉 (all, everyone). 僉 depicts multiple people agreeing and responding to commands, implying instruction or directive. In ancient times, bamboo slips were used in place of paper for writing, so 簽 originally refers to a bamboo strip inscribed with instructions. To ensure compliance with the instructions on the bamboo strip, the issuer must write their name to take responsibility, as represented by 簽, meaning a signed document or label.
