剂

jì

(bound form) a compound made by mixing ingredients (esp. a medicinal or chemical product)

(bound form) small piece of dough cut from a rolled log, used for making mantou (steamed buns) or dumplings; classifier for a dose of medicine

even (齐) + knife (刂) = a measured dose or compound

刂 (knife) is the meaningful half, evoking the cutting or dividing of ingredients into measured portions. 齐 contributes the sound jì and hints at evenness, though its role here is primarily phonetic.
