块

kuài

lump; chunk; piece

classifier for pieces of cloth, cake, soap etc; (coll.) classifier for money and currency units

earth (土) + sound (夬) = a lump or chunk

Think of a clod of dirt — a natural lump pulled from the earth. 夬 gives the sound kuài and carries no meaning here; the earth radical does all the semantic work.

土+夬→块
