叕
zhuó
to join together
to lack; narrow and shallow
hand (又) + hand (又) + hand (又) + hand (又) = joining together
Four hands reaching toward each other suggests the act of connecting or joining. The repetition of 又 visually enacts many hands working together, though the character's range of meanings (joining, lacking, narrow) likely reflects extended or archaic uses of the root idea.
