About
The character "迅" is structured as a phono-semantic compound, combining the "walk" radical "辶" to indicate movement with the component "卂", which historically conveyed both sound and the idea of swiftness. Etymologically, this combination has consistently denoted concepts of speed and rapid action, a semantic focus maintained through its use in classical and modern contexts. While the character's graphical representation has experienced minor stylistic adjustments across different periods, its core meaning and compositional logic have remained stable, primarily employed to describe quick motions or sudden events, as seen in formations like "迅雷" for swift thunder, reflecting a continuous emphasis on velocity without significant alteration in its fundamental sense.
