Tips

history
竫 is not used in modern Chinese; in classical texts it means quiet and at peace, an older equivalent of 静 (it also appears in 竫言, fabricated talk). It is 立 plus the phonetic 争, the same phonetic in 静 and 净.
register
Classical only; always write 静 (as in 安静) today.

Components

radical
立 lì
to stand
立 is the stand radical, a person standing on the ground. Here it is the indexing element; the quietness sense comes from being still, standing settled and at rest.
phonetic
争 zhēng
to contend (phonetic)
争 supplies the sound, drifted from zhēng to jìng. It is the very same phonetic that gives the reading in 静 and 净.
