獲 is phono-semantic: the left side 犭 signals the hunting/animal domain, while the right side historically conveys the sound カク and the sense “to seize; to take.” Together they point to catching or obtaining something — hence meanings like capture, seize, and gain. In usage, contrast 獲得 (to obtain/secure) with 捕獲 (to capture/seize physically).
