插手

• 拼音: chā shǒu
• 汉字拆解: 插 = 扌(hand) + 臿 (spade — phonetic/semantic); 手 = pictograph of a hand

含义

Literally 'to insert one's hand'. Usually carries a mildly negative connotation — getting involved in something not one's business. Can be neutral in some contexts (插手帮忙, pitch in to help), but the negative sense is dominant.
