About

The word 吸引力 is formed through a conceptual stacking of three characters, each contributing a layer of meaning to create a single unified idea. It begins with 吸 (to inhale, to suck in), establishing the core action of drawing inward. This is intensified by 引 (to pull, to lead), adding a sense of active guidance or traction. These combined actions are then grounded and given a tangible quality by 力 (force, power), resulting in the complete concept of an active, powerful "drawing-in force", that is, "attraction".
