Origin

The left side 扌 is a hand radical that indicates this character involves manual action or support. The right component 夫 serves as a sound hint, showing roughly how the character should be pronounced. Together, the hand doing an action (suggested by the left part) combined with the sound element creates a character meaning to help or aid someone—literally lending a hand to support or assist another person.
