とりあつかう · toriatsukau · JLPT N1 · verb-godan
to handle
取る (take) + 扱う (handle) = take and handle, so treat or deal in
取る means take or hold, and 扱う means handle or manage. Together they cover treating something carefully or dealing in goods. Say tori-atsu-kau, stressing both parts.
取 — ear 耳 + hand 又
取 originally depicted a hand (又) grasping an ear (耳), referencing the ancient practice of soldiers cutting off enemies' left ears as proof of kills to claim rewards. The meaning broadened from 'seize/take by force' to the general sense of 'take, get, obtain' used today.
