fervent, kind, cordial, serious, deliberate
篤 centers on a deep, sincere intensity of feeling or action: being fervent, kind, and cordial from the heart, or approaching something with serious, deliberate care.
篤 combines 竹 (bamboo) with 馬 (horse). The original idea may relate to bamboo's thick, solid growth or a horse's steady, deliberate gait, but the exact historical development is uncertain.
Bamboo 竹 grows thick and strong, and a horse 馬 is a steady, deliberate animal. Together they suggest a deep, sincere intensity: a fervent, kind heart that acts with serious care.
For トク, imagine a fervent speaker giving a talk: talk -> トク, and their words are delivered with deep, deliberate kindness.
