程 is made from 禾, meaning “grain,” and 呈, meaning “to present” or “to show.” Grain was once measured and presented in fixed amounts to determine distance, quantity, or level. By showing and measuring grain, people could judge how far or how much something was. From this idea, 程 came to mean degree, level, amount, or distance.
程 shows grain being measured and presented to show a certain level or amount.
Imagine measuring out grain carefully to show how much or how far something is. That measured degree is 程.
