乳
rǔ
(bound form) breast
(bound form) milk; (bound form) newborn; suckling
cradling hand (乚) + sound (孚) = breast, milk, suckling
乚 is a hooked stroke that anciently depicted a hand cradling or grasping — here it evokes the act of nursing. 孚 mainly lends the sound rǔ; the semantic weight rests in that nurturing gesture.
