备
bèi
(bound form) to prepare; to equip
(literary) fully; completely
arrive (夂) + field (田) = prepare everything fully
田 evokes a cultivated field, and 夂 suggests arriving or following through — together they picture someone tending a field until everything is fully in order. The sense of completeness and preparation grows from that image of a field made ready.
