Etymology

Compound of し (shi, “doing”, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb する suru “to do”) +‎ 上げる (ageru, “to raise up; to bring to an end”).[1] Derived via regular historical processes from older 仕上ぐ (shiagu), a 下二段活用 (shimo nidan katsuyō, “lower bigrade conjugation”) verb.[1][2]

Compare the English expression to do something up → to do something thoroughly.

The 仕 kanji for the first character is an example of phonetic ateji.[1]
