About
The character 逶 pairs the movement radical 辶 (walking, traveling) with the phonetic component 委. It evokes something winding, meandering, or stretching out in a continuous curve, describing the physical trajectory of paths, rivers, or mountain ranges as they twist through a landscape. Almost always found in the compound 逶迤, it serves as a descriptive term for long, sinuous geographical features rather than functioning as an independent verb or noun.
