About
The character 抬 is a phono-semantic compound with the semantic radical 扌 (hand) on the left, indicating an action performed with the arms, and the phonetic component 台 on the right. It primarily means to lift or raise something, typically requiring physical effort. This often describes people carrying a heavy object together, such as furniture or a sedan chair, or raising a body part, like lifting one's head to look up. The character thus applies to both coordinated labor and simple bodily movements.
