拼

pīn

to piece together; to put together

to pool (resources etc); to share; to risk all; to go all out; to spell (words)

hand (扌) + merge (并) = piece together by hand

The hand radical carries the meaning: hands working to join pieces together. 并 mainly gives the sound pīn; its own sense of 'merge' is a happy coincidence that reinforces the idea.
