转

zhuǎn

to turn

to change direction; to transfer; to forward (mail); (Internet) to share (sb else's content)

vehicle (车) + sound (专) = to turn, change direction

A wheel turning is the core image — 车 grounds the meaning in rotation and movement. 专 contributes the sound zhuān rather than a semantic idea.

车+专→转
