About
The character "逐" is etymologically constructed from the movement radical 辶 and the component 豕, meaning pig, which together originally depicted the concrete act of chasing animals in a hunt. This structural combination directly conveyed the idea of targeted pursuit or expulsion, with the pig serving as a representative symbol for wild game. Over centuries, its meaning gradually expanded from this specific context of hunting to include more general notions of driving out or following in sequence, as seen in compounds denoting step-by-step progression. The persistent presence of the movement radical has continuously anchored the character's semantic field to concepts of pursuit and ordered motion, allowing its usage to adapt from literal chasing to metaphorical applications without altering its fundamental form.
