shuǎi

to throw

to fling; to swing; to leave behind; to throw off; to dump (sb)

moon (月) + trailing hook (乚) = fling and leave behind

The moon (月) swings across the sky in a wide arc each night, and the hooked tail (乚) traces that trailing motion — something cast out and left behind. Think of flinging an object so it arcs away like the moon's path overhead.
