About

合 (hé) combines an inverted mouth above 口 (kǒu) "mouth", picturing two mouths talking to each other and suggesting mutual agreement. This sense of coming together yields meanings of closing, shutting, or joining separate parts securely. From there, it broadened to describe uniting people, combining elements, and anything that matches well, suits a purpose, or conforms to a standard.
