quàn

to advise

to urge; to try to persuade; to exhort; to console; to soothe

Hand (又) + effort (力) = urging someone with earnest effort

A hand reaches out with effort — not to force, but to guide someone toward a better path. The combination suggests persuasion as active, effortful outreach rather than passive suggestion.
