The word "围绕" is formed by combining the character 围, meaning "to surround" and composed of the enclosure radical 囗 with 韦 as a phonetic component, and 绕, meaning "to wind" and composed of the silk thread radical 纟 with 尧 as a phonetic component; together they create a compound verb where both semantic elements reinforce the concept of encircling or revolving around something.
