休 is a combination of ( )and( ), picturing a person resting against a tree, signifying “rest”休息. From this original meaning, it was extended to mean “stop”, as in 争论不休 (zhēng lùn bù xiū: “argue without stop”). From “stop”, it was borrowed to mean “don’t”, as in 休要胡说 (xiū yào hú shuō: “don’t talk nonsense”).
