In current form, 竹 (“bamboo”) + 目 + 廾.
The 目 portion may have originally represented counting rods (or possibly an abacus, although the character is believed to predate its invention). Such rods were typically made from bamboo.
Etymology
It has been compared with Tibetan གཤོར (gshor, “to count, to measure, to weigh”) by Gong (1995). The Old Chinese coda was *-r, as preserved in Japanese 算盤 (soroban, “abacus”).
