About
The character "迳" evolved from its traditional form "逕", which combines the radical "辶" indicating movement with the phonetic component "巠", and its simplification substituted "巠" with "径" , a character meaning path , thereby reinforcing the semantic notion of a direct or narrow way. Originally denoting a small footpath or shortcut, its meaning extended over time to include metaphorical applications such as a straightforward method or direct approach, while the structural change from "逕" to "迳" streamlined the character without altering its fundamental association with routes and passage.
