About
The character "扛" is structured with a hand radical on the left and the component "工" on the right, linking it to manual action while providing phonetic indication. Its etymology centers on the act of lifting or carrying with the hands or shoulders, as documented in classical texts. Over time, the meaning expanded from purely physical conveyance to include abstract senses like assuming duties or bearing burdens. The composition of the character has consistently featured these components, with the hand radical denoting actions involving the arms and "工" contributing to its sound.
