设
shè
to set up; to put in place
(math.) given; suppose; if
speech (讠) + phonetic (殳) = to set up, declare, or suppose
The speech radical carries the meaning: to set something up is to declare it in words, whether a rule, a plan, or a mathematical given. 殳 contributes the sound shè and does not add semantic meaning here.
