About

The traditional character 邏 is a phono-semantic compound: 辶, the movement radical, indicates walking or traveling, while 羅 (meaning 'net' or 'to catch') provides the sound. In the simplified form 逻, the complex right side is reduced to 罗, keeping the same pronunciation and association with movement. Originally, it meant patrolling or inspecting to maintain order. Today, it is most often used in compounds expressing logic, a modern phonetic loan.
