切

qiè

definitely; absolutely (not)

(scoffing or dismissive interjection) Yeah, right.; Tut!; to grind; (bound form) close to; (bound form) eager; to correspond to; (used to indicate that the fanqie 反切[fan3 qie4] system should be applied to the previous two characters)

seven (七) + knife (刀) = cut close and decisively

刀 carries the core meaning — a blade that cuts close and true. 七 is purely phonetic, lending the qiē/qiè sound without adding semantic weight.

七+刀→切
