师
shī
teacher
surname Shi; master; expert; model; army division; (old) troops; to dispatch troops
encircle (帀) + blade (刂) = master who commands a circle of followers
帀 originally conveyed the idea of going around or assembling, while the blade adds the edge of authority and discipline. Together they sketch the ancient image of a commander — and by extension, anyone whose expertise others rally around.
