rank, grade, throne, crown, about, some
位 centers on a person's standing or position: a rank, grade, or the seat of authority such as a throne. The approximate senses 'about' and 'some' extend from the idea of a rough position or degree.
位 combines 亻 (person) and 立 (stand), suggesting a person standing in a particular place or rank.
A person 亻 standing 立 in a specific spot marks their rank or position. Picture a guard standing at attention to show their grade.
For イ, imagine a person standing at ease in their rank: ease -> イ, and the person stands in their proper place.
