秃
tū
bald (lacking hair or feathers)
barren; bare; denuded; blunt (lacking a point); (of a piece of writing) unsatisfactory; lacking something
grain (禾) + bare table (几) = stripped bare, bald
A grain stalk (禾) stripped down to bare stalks on a low table (几) evokes something reduced to nothing — no leaves, no fullness, just exposed and bare. This image of stripped grain extends naturally to baldness, barrenness, and bluntness.
