搭

dā

to put up

to build (scaffolding); to hang (clothes on a pole); to connect; to join; to arrange in pairs; to match; to add; to throw in (resources); to take (boat, train); variant of 褡[da1]

hand (扌) + sound dā (荅) = put up, hang, connect with hands

The hand radical anchors all the physical actions here — lifting, hanging, connecting, building. 荅 mainly contributes the sound dā; the hand does the semantic work.
