丸
wán
ball
pellet; pill
a picture of 丸 → a fist clutching a small round pellet
The original image shows a fist curled around a small round object — capturing the idea of something compact enough to hold in a closed hand. From that image of a clutched pebble came the sense of any small, rounded thing: a pellet, a ball, a pill.
