to spin (hemp etc)

merit; accomplishment; Taiwan pr. [ji1]

thread (纟) + duty (责) = merit spun from hard work

责 carries the sense of duty and obligation — so 绩 is the thread of accountability made tangible: the woven result of labor you are answerable for. Together they evoke achievement earned through diligent, responsible work.
