About
The character 逾, conveying the meaning to exceed or go beyond, is formed from the semantic radical 辶, denoting movement, combined with the component 俞, which primarily serves a phonetic function but also carries connotations of passage or consent. This structural combination inherently suggests the action of moving past a boundary or limit. In early literary usage, the character was predominantly applied to describe physical acts of crossing, such as traversing over walls or waterways, but over time its application broadened to encompass more abstract notions of surpassing norms, thresholds, or expectations. This shift from concrete to figurative contexts represents the principal change in its semantic range, while the core idea of transcendence embedded in its composition has remained consistent throughout its historical use.
