The kanji 募 is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), a phono-semantic compound character. The radical on the top is 莫 (baku), which conveys a general meaning of "nothing" or "not," but in this case contributes to the sound. The bottom part is 力 (chikara), which means "power" or "strength". Combined, the character originally indicated to seek or obtain the power to gather something. Over time, the meaning evolved to its current sense of soliciting or recruiting.
