项
xiàng
back of neck
surname Xiang; item; thing; term (in a mathematical formula); sum (of money); classifier for principles, items, clauses, tasks, research projects etc
work (工) + head (页) = a distinct item or clause
页 originally depicted a person with a prominent head, so it carries meanings related to the head and neck area. 工 mainly contributes the sound xiàng here; 页 anchors the meaning in that physical region, which extended to 'item' or 'heading' — things you tick off one by one.
