What semantic notions underlie 妥 (suitable') with 爫 (爪 or claw) and 女? Reading 穩妥's etymology spurred me to read 妥's. I screenshot Yellowbridge. I truly hope this etymology doesn't relate to the inhumane barbarism of foot binding in China!

  甲金文从爪（倒手）从「女」，象以手安抚女子之形，引申有安义（李孝定）。 《集韵》：「妥，安也。 或作绥。 」一说「妥」象以手按抑妇女使之坐下，引伸有安定之义（徐中舒、刘兴隆）。 一说「妥」象以手擒拿、抓取女子之形。 本义是俘掠，后作「绥」。 《书. 武成》，肆予东征，绥厥士女。 」师·马报簋：「孚士女羊牛。 」（吴其昌、于省吾、徐在国）。 「妥」与「孚」（「俘」的初文）的造字原理相同。 吴其昌认为甲骨文「男曰孚，女曰妥。 」
