About
The character "扶" is structured with the hand radical coupled with the component "夫", which primarily functioned as a phonetic indicator while also subtly reinforcing the concept of human agency, originating from the concrete act of providing physical support or stability with the hand. Over time, its semantic range expanded from this specific manual action to encompass more abstract notions of assistance, aid, and sustenance, allowing it to integrate into various compound words that convey fostering or upholding actions, yet it consistently retained its fundamental association with the idea of manual intervention and support.
