About
With the movement radical 辶, signifying walking or travel, the character 逶 is completed by the phonetic component 委. It conveys a visual sense of winding or meandering, describing the curving trajectory of paths, rivers, or mountain ranges through a landscape. This character appears almost exclusively in the compound '逶迤,' a descriptive term for long, twisting geographical features, rather than functioning as an independent word.
