pěng

to hold or offer with both hands

to sing the praises of; classifier for what can be held in both hands

hand (扌) + respectful offering (奉) = hold up with both hands

奉 carries the sense of respectfully presenting something upward, as if offering to a superior. The hand radical makes the gesture physical — two palms raised together in deference.
