exorcise
祓 centers on ritual purification: driving out evil or impurity through exorcism.
祓 combines 示 (altar, religious ceremony) with 犮, which likely contributes the sound and may relate to pulling out or removing, fitting the idea of exorcism.
The left side 示 suggests a ritual altar. The right side 犮 looks like a hand pulling something away. Picture a priest at an altar pulling out evil spirits: that is exorcism.
For フツ, imagine the sound of a sharp exorcism chant: "Foots!" as the evil is driven out. Foots -> フツ, and the ritual purifies the space.
