About
掼 (traditional: 摜) is a phono-semantic compound: the left radical 扌 'hand' marks it as a manual action, while 贯/貫 provides the sound. Its primary meaning, to throw, fling, or toss something forcefully to the ground, often appears in contexts of angrily discarding objects, wrestling throws that slam an opponent, or simply letting something drop heavily, with the hand radical naturally underscoring this physical, hand‑driven movement.
