規 is made from 見, meaning “to see,” and 夫, meaning “person.” It shows a person looking carefully to check what is correct. From this idea of observing and judging what is proper, 規 came to mean rule, standard, or regulation.
A person looks carefully to decide what is correct. That standard is 規.
If you can clearly see what is correct, you have a rule. That rule or standard is 規.
