Two or more meaningful parts placed together so that their meanings combine into a new one.

承 combines 卩, a kneeling person, and 廾, both hands, to show holding or carrying.

Most characters — around four in five — are built this way: one part hints at the meaning, the other at the pronunciation.

This origin belongs to the traditional form 辦; 办 is its simplified writing.
