About

The word 牵扯 is formed by combining two characters, each meaning "to pull" or "to drag" (牵 and 扯), creating a compounded visual and conceptual effect where one pull is intensified by another. This juxtaposition evokes the image of multiple strands or matters being drawn together and entangled, perfectly capturing the word's meaning of being involved, implicated, or interconnected in a complicated situation.
