搬

bān

to move (i.e. relocate oneself)

to move (sth relatively heavy or bulky); to shift; to copy indiscriminately

hand (扌) + phonetic bān (般) = move or relocate something

The hand radical carries all the meaning here — reaching out to grip and shift something heavy. 般 mainly contributes the sound bān and doesn't add semantic weight.

扌+般→搬
