About

The character 迥, structured with the walk radical 辶 and the component 冋, etymologically originates from the concept of physical distance, as 冋 itself denotes a border or remote area, thus collectively initially signifying a far-off frontier. Over time, its application shifted from merely describing geographical remoteness to encompassing figurative senses of being vastly different or distinct, reflecting a semantic expansion that moved beyond literal confines while retaining its core association with separation. The graphical form has remained largely consistent, preserving the phonetic hint from 冋 and the semantic indicator from 辶, which continues to inform its modern meanings of extensive disparity or great distance.
