The kanji 捨 primarily conveys the meaning of "to discard," "to abandon," "to throw away," or "to get rid of something." It implies the act of relinquishing something, whether it be a physical object, an idea, or a feeling, often with the implication that the item is no longer wanted or needed. It can also refer to neglecting something or someone.

The kanji 捨 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). The left side is the radical 扌 (てへん, tehen), which is a simplified form of 手 meaning "hand," and indicates the meaning. The right side is 舎 (sha), which acts as a phonetic component, indicating the pronunciation and suggesting the meaning related to "house" or "place." The original meaning of 舎 suggests a place. The entire character can be understood as the act of "using the hand" to "get rid of" or "leave something at a place," hence, to discard or abandon.
