输
shū
to lose; to be beaten
(bound form) to transport; (literary) to donate; to contribute; (coll.) to enter (a password)
vehicle (车) + phonetic (俞) = transport, or lose what you carry
车 anchors the core idea of moving goods or people from place to place. 俞 primarily lends the shū sound; the extension to 'losing' comes from the sense of resources flowing away from you.
