to reprint sth published elsewhere

🔁📰 转 turn/transfer + 载 carry/publish = take a published piece and re-carry it elsewhere

转 means to turn or transfer; 载 means to carry, load, or publish. Together they describe lifting something already published and re-carrying it to a new place — reprinting an article or forwarding a shipment.

转 — car radical 车 + 专 (phonetic)
转 is a semantic-phonetic compound. The left side 车 (cart/wheel) gives the meaning, evoking something that turns or rotates like a wheel. The right side 专 supplies the sound. Originally referring to the turning of a cart's wheels, it broadened to mean 'turn,' 'rotate,' or 'shift' in general.
