挟む
はさむ · hasamu · JLPT N2 · verb-godan
to pinch
📎 挟 = hand radical 扌 + 夾 (between): use a hand to hold something between two parts
The 扌 radical marks a hand action, and 夾 supplies the 'between' sense. So 挟む covers pinching, holding something between two things, and inserting an item between others.
