drag along
戹 centers on the idea of pulling or dragging something along, often with difficulty or against resistance.
The exact historical development of 戹 is uncertain. It may combine 户 (door) with 乙 (a curved line), but the original meaning connection to 'drag along' is unclear.
Imagine a door (户) with a hook (乙) attached, and you are dragging the door along by the hook. The door is heavy, so you have to pull it with effort.
For アク, picture dragging a heavy door with a hook, and the sound of the effort is a grunt: 'ack!' The 'ack' sound cues アク as you drag the door along.
