担ぐ
かつぐ · katsugu · JLPT N2 · verb-godan
to carry on shoulder
🎒 担 = hand radical 扌 + 旦; かつぐ means lifting a load with the hands onto the shoulder
The 扌 hand radical marks this as a hands-on action. Its sibling 担う (になう) also means to bear a burden, so the same kanji covers carrying a load in both senses.
担 — hand radical 扌 + 詹 (zhān, phonetic)
担 is a semantic-phonetic compound: 扌 (hand) gives the meaning of carrying or shouldering, while 詹 supplies the sound. Originally written 擔, it depicted bearing a load on a shoulder pole; 担 is the simplified form. Meanings extended from physical carrying to bearing responsibility.
