辟
pì
to open (a door)
to open up (for development); to dispel; to refute; to repudiate; (bound form) penetrating; incisive
Body (尸) + mouth (口) + punish (辛) = authoritative opening or sharp refutation
Picture a kneeling figure (尸) under harsh punishment (辛) ordered through a royal mouth (口) — authority clearing the way by decree, expelling opposition. The punishing knife of 辛 captures the incisive, cutting force behind opening or refuting something.
