From Chinese 匕首, possibly from Middle Chinese. Appears in texts from at least the 1300s.[1]
The Chinese dagger was sometimes used for assassination, and had a spoon-shaped blade tip designed to inflict damage on the victim's neck. Hence the spelling, literally 匕 (bǐ, “spoon”) + 首 (shǒu, “neck”).

The spelling is Jukujikun (熟字訓), based on a roughly similar kind of dagger used in China. That dagger was sometimes used for assassination, and had a spoon-shaped blade tip designed to inflict damage on the victim's neck. Hence the spelling, literally 匕 (bǐ, “spoon”) + 首 (shǒu, “neck”).
