medical

medicine; doctor; to cure; to treat

enclosure (匸) + arrow (矢) = removing harm, the core of medicine

矢 means arrow, evoking the ancient practice of using arrows (and later surgical tools) to remove injury or disease. 匸 mainly shapes the enclosure and contributes to the sound; the arrow inside is what anchors the medical idea.
