Originally 攴 action indicator + an element# doubling 柬 sack → line up sacks/sandbags in tight rows → *state*; *explain* (← line up words ← line up sacks/sandbags) → *old* (← line up objects and leave them behind to rot). The present form replaces the doubled 柬 element with 東 (another character originally indicating a sack) and for 攴 substitutes 阜 piled earth.
