扶 — hand radical 扌 + 夫 (fū, man)
扶 is a semantic-phonetic compound. The hand radical 扌 carries the meaning of supporting or helping with the hand, while 夫 supplies the sound 'fu'. The original sense was to steady or hold someone up by hand, which broadened to today's meanings of supporting, assisting, or propping up.
