About
The character 途, meaning "road", "way", or "journey", is composed of the semantic component 辶, which signifies movement or travel, combined with 余 which primarily serves a phonetic function. Its fundamental meaning has consistently centered on the concept of a path or route, yet its application has broadened from strictly denoting physical roads to encompass more abstract notions of a course of action, a method, or the metaphorical journey of a process. While its structure has remained stable in its standard form, the conceptual pathway it describes has extended from the tangible ground one walks upon to the intangible progression of events or life's experiences.
