The interpretation of this sign is controversial. It goes back to two images: that of a hand holding something, then that of a hairy animal's tail. One hypothesis is that animals were sacrificed during the Zhou Dynasty . Priests held the sacrificial animal by the tail. Hence the meaning “ implore ”. At first it was probably just " hold ". Sometimes a slave's hair was also sacrificed. Hence the meaning " subordinate ".
" Arrest " is written today with Radikal 171 and " go quickly ".
