to receive

surname Na; to accept; to enjoy; to bring into; to pay (tax etc); nano- (one billionth); to reinforce sole of shoes or stockings by close sewing

thread (纟) + inner (内) = to receive and take in

The silk radical (纟) hints at weaving or threading something in, suggesting the act of taking in or accepting. 内 mainly lends the sound nà; the thread component carries the meaning of drawing something inward.
