gentle, peace, satisfactory, appropriate
妥 centers on a state of calm, gentle agreement where things settle peacefully and appropriately. It suggests a satisfactory compromise or a settled, peaceful condition.
妥 combines 爫 (claw/hand) and 女 (woman). The traditional explanation is that a hand calming or settling a woman represents peace and gentleness, though the exact historical origin is not fully certain.
A gentle hand (爫) rests on a woman (女), bringing peace and a satisfactory, calm state. This is the image of a settled, appropriate compromise.
For ダ, imagine a gentle dove (ダ) settling peacefully on a woman's hand: dove -> ダ, and the scene is calm and appropriate.
