推
tuī
to push
to cut; to refuse; to reject; to decline; to shirk (responsibility); to put off; to delay; to push forward; to nominate; to elect; massage
hand (扌) + phonetic (隹) = push with the hand
The hand radical (扌) carries the meaning: a pushing, pressing, or propelling action done with the hand. 隹 mainly contributes the sound tuī; it does not add to the sense of pushing.
