About

The word "搬家" is formed by combining the character "搬", meaning to move, which uses the hand radical "扌" to indicate manual action and the component "般" for phonetic approximation, with the character "家", meaning home. This creates a verb-object compound where "搬" denotes the action and "家" specifies the target, directly conveying the meaning "to move house".
