About
The character 走 combines an upper component resembling 土 (earth/ground) with the lower radical 止 (foot/stop). Historically, the upper part depicted a person swinging their arms, while the foot indicated movement, originally conveying rapid forward motion. Over time, its primary meaning shifted from running to the more general sense of walking or moving on foot. Today, 走 expresses physical locomotion, departure, or the general progression of objects and events, while the specific concept of running is now expressed by other characters.
