About
The character 摅 is a phono-semantic compound with the semantic radical 扌 (hand), indicating an action, and the phonetic component 虑. Its traditional form is 攄, where the phonetic element is written as 慮, following the same structural principle. The character primarily means to spread out, unfold, or express freely, often referring to the venting of feelings or articulation of thoughts. The hand radical suggests the physical act of opening or scattering, which extends metaphorically to the unrestrained disclosure of inner ideas and sentiments.
