交 originally drew a human with crossed legs. In the modern shape, the upper part resembles a standing person.

A drawing of the thing itself, worn down over three thousand years into a few strokes.

The early form of 易 was a drawing of a filled container, not a chameleon. It showed something full that could be given out.

This origin belongs to the traditional form 員; 员 is its simplified writing.
