About
The character 摅 is a phono-semantic compound combining the semantic radical 扌 'hand' , indicating an action done with the hand , and the phonetic component 虑. The traditional form 攄 writes the phonetic as 慮, maintaining the same construction. The core meaning is to spread out, unroll, or freely express oneself, often in the context of venting emotions or articulating thoughts. The hand radical conveys the physical act of opening or scattering, which metaphorically extends to the unrestrained disclosure of one's inner ideas and feelings.
