invariably, certain, inevitable
必 centers on the idea of something being bound to happen: it is certain, inevitable, or invariably the case.
必 is thought to originate from a pictograph of a weapon or tool, later associated with the idea of certainty or necessity. The exact historical development is uncertain.
The shape looks like a heart 心 with a slash through it, as if something is so certain it cuts straight to the heart. Whatever is marked this way is inevitable.
For ヒツ, imagine a hit that is certain to land: hit -> ヒツ, and the inevitable strike cuts through like the slash in 必.
