夹 Jiā
Origin:
这个字形像两个较小的人扶着一个较大的人,本义是“辅佐”,后来本义逐渐消失,引申为“从两旁钳住”。
This character looks like two smaller men supporting a larger man with their arms, so its original meaning was to assist a ruler in governing. Later, that meaning gradually disappeared, and the character came to mean “to press from both sides.”
Meaning:
to press from both sides; to clip or clamp; folder
Words:
夹杂(jiāzá): to be mixed up with; be mingled with; get tangled up with
