The keyword for 採 is pick / adopt. This kanji conveys the act of selecting or gathering something by hand, much like picking fruit or flowers from a plant. By extension, it also means to adopt or take up an idea, method, or proposal, as in choosing to accept something from among various options. The underlying sense is one of actively reaching out and making a deliberate selection.
