About
The character "捐" is structured with the hand radical (扌) on the left and the component "肙" on the right, where "肙" primarily provides phonetic guidance. Its etymology relates to a hand-based action, originally meaning to remove or discard something. Over time, the meaning shifted from this general sense of relinquishment to specifically denote the act of contributing or donating, often in a voluntary or charitable context, while the character's form stayed consistent.
