semi-, correspond to, proportionate to, conform, imitate
準 centers on aligning with a standard: being semi- or quasi-, corresponding proportionately, conforming to a model, or imitating something. The meanings share the idea of measuring up to a reference point.
準 originally depicted water (氵) being used as a level, combined with 隼 (a falcon) which likely contributed the sound. The idea is a water level as a standard for measurement, leading to meanings of conformity and proportion.
Water (氵) is used as a level to check if something is straight and conforms to a standard. The right side (隹) looks like a tool being measured against the water level, making sure it corresponds exactly.
For ジュン, imagine checking the water level in June: June -> ジュン, and the water must conform to the standard mark.
