About
The character "揽" originates from its traditional form "攬", which integrates the hand radical with the component "覽" to denote the act of drawing things into one's view or hold, initially conveying physical gathering or embracing. Over time, its semantic range expanded beyond manual collection to include abstract concepts such as assuming control, attracting attention, or taking on responsibilities, as evidenced in modern compounds related to management or solicitation. The simplified form "揽" preserves the hand radical while substituting the complex right side with the simplified component "览", thereby reducing visual complexity without altering the fundamental notion of encompassing or seizing.
