🤝 接 receive + 纳 take in = to accept someone into the group
接 means to receive or connect, 纳 means to take in or admit. Together 接纳 is to receive-and-admit, i.e. to accept a person or idea into a group. Note nà overlaps with 纳税 pay tax, the sense of taking something in.
接 — hand 扌 + concubine 妾 (phonetic)
接 is a semantic-phonetic compound. The hand radical 扌 carries the meaning of receiving or joining with the hand, while 妾 supplies the sound. From 'taking with the hand' it broadened to 'receive, meet, connect, join together'.
