About
The word 逍遥 is formed from two characters, each containing the walking radical 辶, which denotes motion or movement. In 逍, the component 肖 primarily provides phonetic value, while in 遥, the component 䍃 serves a similar phonetic role. The repetition of the motion radical reinforces the concept of unrestrained movement, leading to the meaning of wandering freely or being at leisure.
