> これが俺のすくい取れなかった 姉妹を大切にするが故の 二乃の心理…

What does すくいとる mean in this sentence?

If I were to try to translate:

> This is what I failed to understand(?). The state of Nino's mind because of
> her need to look after her sisters...

I found this:

  * [掬い取る](https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/word/%E6%8E%AC%E3%81%84%E5%8F%96%E3%82%8B/)

and both of the definitions kind of make sense but not really. I don't know if
I found the right word.

question
meaning words
What does すくいとる mean?
Yes, it is correct to understand '掬い取る' as 'understand'.

It is
[すくう](https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/word/%E3%81%99%E3%81%8F%E3%81%86/#jn-117818)
+ とる, and すくう is largely synonymous to
[くむ](https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/word/%E3%81%8F%E3%82%80/#jn-63064), both
meaning 'holding up liquid by an apparatus or hands' (so literally, it is
close to _grasp_ ).

And
[くみとる](https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/word/%E6%B1%B2%E3%81%BF%E5%8F%96%E3%82%8B/#jn-63039)
has the more explicit meaning as follows:

> ２ 相手の心情や事情を推し量る。理解する。「先方の意図を―・る」
