Etymology

The 連用形 ‎(ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 仕入れる ‎(shiireru, “to lay in goods or supplies, to stock up; to teach manners, to discipline, to train”), itself a compound of し ‎(shi), the ren'yōkei of verb する ‎(suru, “to do”) + 入れる ‎(ireru, “to put in, to bring in”).[1]

The character 仕 is used as phonetic ateji for its on'yomi of shi.[1]
