蔓
màn
creeper
to spread
plant (艹) + spreading (曼) = creeping vine that spreads
曼carries the sense of something long and languidly extended, which maps naturally onto how a vine creeps and sprawls. Together, the plant radical anchors it in the botanical world while 曼 supplies the slow, reaching motion.
