携带

xīdài · HSK 7

to carry (on one's person); to support (old)

🎒 携 (carry) + 带 (bring/belt) = carry-and-bring, i.e. take along with you

带 — belt/sash 巾 at bottom + ornaments above
带 originally pictured a belt or sash with hanging ornaments or pendants tied at the waist; the bottom 巾 (cloth) reinforces the textile meaning. From the literal 'belt' it extended to 'carry, bring along' (as a belt holds things) and to 'zone/region' (a strip of land).
