rob, take by force, snatch away, dispossess, plunder, usurp
奪 centers on taking something away from someone else by force or without permission: robbing, snatching, plundering, or usurping control.
奪 combines 奞 (a large bird seizing prey) with 寸 (hand), depicting a bird snatching something away with its talons. This gives the core idea of taking by force.
A large bird (奞) swoops down and uses its hand-like talons (寸) to snatch something away. That is the essence of 奪: robbing or taking by force.
For ダツ, imagine a daring darts player who snatches the dartboard away from the wall: darts -> ダツ, and the act of snatching matches the kanji's meaning.
