The kanji 刷 is a pictophonetic compound. The left side is the radical 手 (te), meaning "hand". The right side is 彡 (san) which originally depicted brush strokes or flowing lines. Together, these components suggest the action of using a hand (or a tool held by the hand) to apply or transfer something (like ink or paint) by brushing or swiping. This act of "brushing" developed over time to include "printing."
