About
The character "奔" is structurally composed of "大" positioned above "卉", a configuration that evolved from an earlier conceptual representation of a person in rapid motion. Etymologically, the top element "大" symbolizes a person with limbs outstretched, while the bottom "卉" historically derived from a simplification of symbols denoting multiple feet, though it is now commonly associated with plant life. Its core meaning has consistently revolved around swift movement, specifically to run or dash, and over time it has developed extended senses such as to hurry, flee, or strive toward a particular objective.
