The kanji 推 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). The semantic component (意符, ifu) is the hand radical (手, te) on the left side, which suggests the act of doing something with the hand (i.e., pushing, moving). The phonetic component (音符, onpu) is 隹, which gives the sound "sui." Originally, the character depicted the action of pushing something, but it evolved to also represent the act of inferring or recommending.
