About
Composed of the hand radical and the phonetic element "爪" meaning claw, the character "抓" etymologically conveys the action of grasping or scratching with the hand or talons, with its structure consistently reflecting this manual imagery. Originally denoting physical acts of seizure or abrasion, its semantic range broadened to include abstract senses such as capturing attention or emphasizing critical points, while still retaining its fundamental association with direct intervention or control. The component "爪" not only guides pronunciation but also reinforces the concept of claw-like action, allowing the character to evolve in usage without losing its core reference to hands engaging with objects or concepts.
