🎯 該 (the said, the one in question) + 当 (hit, match, fall under) = the item that hits the criteria
該 points to a specific thing in question, and 当 means to hit or fall under a rule. Together they mean the entry that falls under the rule, the one that matches the condition.
当 — small ⺌ + crown 冖 + hand 彐 (simplified from 當: 尚 + 田)
Originally written 當, combining 田 'field' with 尚 as a phonetic. The early sense was 'to match' or 'face' a field of equal value, extended to 'correspond to', 'ought to', and 'serve as'. The simplified form 当 streamlines the upper 尚 component.
