The two meanings “aiming at” and “constant” are not very irrelevant. “Aiming at” implies decision. Something you have decided does not move. That is, it becomes stable or constant.

Sadamaru is like a transitive verb. If its object is a target, it means to aim at it.

Sadamaru is like an intransitive verb. If its subject is a target, it means that it is decided.

Sadaka means to be sure.

When its reading is tei, which is the onyomi reading, this character is part of compounds. Ittei is constant. Kettei is something that is decided. Teiri is a theorem.
