捞 (lāo) — to fish out, to dredge up (from liquid); to gain (profit) by improper means, to get (benefits)
Definition
捞 (lāo) means 'to fish/dredge something out of liquid' — like 捡 but specifically from water (a river, a pot). The figurative sense 'to gain by improper means' is unique; 掏 and 捡 don't carry that negative connotation.
