The kanji 納 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字; けいせいもじ). The semantic component is 糸 (いと; thread), likely representing a tied or bundled item. The phonetic component is 内 (ない; inside), which contributes to the sound and suggests that something is placed "inside" or "within." The combination of these components conveys the idea of putting something into a container, accepting it, or storing it. It evolved from ancient forms that depicted the concept of bringing something to a place for keeping.
