搬

นิรุกติศาสตร์และส่วนประกอบ

The Chinese character 搬 (bān) is composed of two parts: the radical 力 (lì), which means "strength" or "power", and the phonetic component 旁 (páng), which has the same pronunciation as 搬. The character 搬 originally meant "to move heavy objects" or "to carry", and it has been used in this sense for centuries. Over time, the meaning of 搬 has expanded to include other types of movement, such as "to move house" or "to relocate". The character 搬 can also be used figuratively to mean "to transfer" or "to move something from one place to another". For example, the phrase 搬家 (bān jiā) means "to move house", while the phrase 搬运 (bān yùn) means "to transport".
