usage
A kitchen verb: you 擀 dough flat with a 擀面杖 (rolling pin) to make noodles, dumpling skins, or flatbread. The hand radical 扌 marks it as something you do by hand.
Left-side hand radical 扌, the action form of 手. Rolling dough is hands-on work, so the hand radical fits 擀.

trunk; to do
Right side 幹 supplies the sound (gàn shifting to gǎn). This is the fuller traditional form of 干; it is kept here because 擀 was not on the simplification list.
