soft
軟 centers on the quality of being soft, pliable, or yielding to pressure, like a cushion or a flexible material.
軟 combines 車 (vehicle) and 欠 (lack), suggesting a vehicle that lacks rigidity or is soft. The exact historical development is uncertain, but the modern form visually conveys softness through the idea of a yielding cart.
A cart (車) that is missing (欠) its sturdy frame becomes soft and flexible, like a wagon with no rigid structure.
For ナン, imagine a soft naan bread (ナン) being placed on a cart: naan -> ナン, and the bread is soft like the kanji's meaning.
