提

tí

to carry (hanging down from the hand)

to lift; to put forward; to mention; to raise (an issue); upwards character stroke; lifting brush stroke (in painting); scoop for measuring liquid

hand (扌) + phonetic (是) = lift, raise, carry

The hand radical anchors the core sense: lifting, raising, or carrying something held below. 是 is purely phonetic, giving the approximate sound tí rather than adding meaning.
