About
The character 纳, traditional form 納, combines the simplified silk radical 纟 on the left, indicating its origins in textile work, with the component 内 (nèi, "inside") on the right. 内 functions as the phonetic element while also suggesting the idea of bringing something inward. Its original meaning referred to the process of shrinking or compacting silk threads. Over time, this sense broadened to encompass the abstract concepts of accepting, receiving, or admitting, commonly used for actions like paying taxes, accepting proposals, or incorporating new members.
