着

zhe

aspect particle indicating action in progress or ongoing state

着 — the ongoing-state aspect marker

Its original meaning was 'to attach' or 'cling to', suggesting something that sticks and stays. Over time it was borrowed to mark ongoing states — things that remain attached to the moment, still in progress.
