About
The character 纳 comes from the traditional form 納, where the full silk element 糸 was simplified to the radical 纟, highlighting its origin in silk work. The phonetic is 内, meaning "inside", though here it only indicates pronunciation. Originally, 纳 referred to the technique of shrinking or tightening silk threads during production. From there, the meaning shifted away from textiles to the general notion of accepting, receiving, or incorporating, as in paying taxes, accepting proposals, or absorbing new members.
