I beleive it refers to the raising of animals by humans. As in hand rearing.

it means either an animal was taken care of by a human since a baby, or a person was taken care of by his/her mother since a baby.

hope this helps :)

When I was growing up, it meant a hand across your butt to teach you a lesson.
