武力
wǔlì · HSK 7
armed force
⚔️ 武力 = 武 martial/military + 力 force/strength
武 is martial or military, 力 is force or power, so 武力 is armed force. The 力 character is a pictograph of a flexed arm, the root in many strength words.
力 — pictograph of a plow or arm muscle
力 originated as a pictograph of an ancient plow, the main tool requiring physical exertion in early agriculture. Some scholars also see it as a flexed arm showing muscle. From this concrete image it broadened to mean 'strength, power, force, effort'.
