The word 携带 is formed through the conceptual combination of its two component characters: 携, which depicts the action of taking or holding by the hand (suggested by its hand radical 扌), and 带, which means a belt or band, evoking the idea of something that encircles, binds, or holds things together. Together, they create a compound where the first character provides the core action of "taking along" and the second reinforces the notion of having something attached or secured with you, merging into the unified meaning of "to carry along" or "to have on one's person".
