抡
lūn , lún · HSK 7
to swing (one's arms, a heavy object); to wave (a sword, one's fists)
👊🗡️ 扌(hand) + 仑 lún; sounds like loon — a loony wild swing of arm or sword
The 扌 hand radical does the work: 抡 is a forceful swing or wave of the arms, fists, or a heavy blade. The right side 仑 (lún) gives the sound, close to English loon, fitting a wild loony swing.
抡 — hand radical 扌 + 仑 (lún, order)
A semantic-phonetic compound: the hand radical 扌 indicates an action done with the hand, while 仑 supplies the sound (lún). The original sense of swinging or brandishing with the hand (抡, lūn) extends to wielding weapons or tools; the lún reading carries the related notion of selecting or choosing.
