Depicts a hand (寸) spinning a wheel (叀). Based on the original meaning "turn", now written as 轉. The current meaning is a phonetic loan. The simplified character 专 was adapted from the cursive form of the traditional character 專. Pictograph of a heart. These notes explain the characters’ formation. Learn 专心 as a complete modern word rather than mechanically adding isolated character meanings.
