The kanji 提, fundamentally, conveys the idea of "to hold up," "to lift," "to carry," or "to propose." It often implies a supporting or offering action, whether physically or conceptually.

・On-yomi (音読み): テイ ・Kun-yomi (訓読み): さ(げる)

⚫︎ 提案（ていあん） Translation: Proposal; suggestion ⚫︎ 提言（ていげん） Translation: Proposal; suggestion; advice ⚫︎ 手提げ（てさげ） Translation: Handbag; carrying bag

The kanji 提 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). The left side is the "扌" radical, also known as the "hand" radical (手). The right side is the phonetic component "是" (pronounced as テイ, or similar). Together, the "扌" indicates action related to hand, and "是" contributes to the sound. The combination suggests an action done by hand, particularly lifting, holding, or presenting something.
