zhèn

to shake

to flap; to vibrate; to resonate; to rise up with spirit; to rouse oneself

hand (扌) + phonetic (辰) = shake, vibrate, rise up with spirit

The hand radical grounds the meaning in physical action — shaking, flapping, or rousing. 辰 contributes the sound zhèn and does not carry semantic weight here.
