拾 is formed from the hand radical 扌 on the left and the character 合 on the right. 扌 represents using the hand, while 合 means to join or bring together. Together, they show using the hand to gather something and bring it together. From this structure, 拾 came to mean pick up or collect.
拾 shows using the hand to gather something, meaning pick up.
Think of a hand (扌) reaching down to bring something together (合). That action of lifting and collecting with your hand is 拾.
