All of it in one picture
手 is one hand reaching out. Two hands closing on each other is a handshake; two palms striking each other is applause. When a hand has a motion drilled into it, that person is a player; when it works beside someone else's, it is an assistant; when it holds a blade over a body, it is surgery. The words change, but the thing moving in the picture is always a hand.
