The character 逿 is a phono-semantic compound denoting physical movement or surpassing limits. Its semantic radical 辶 (walk/journey) establishes the verb context, while the phonetic component 昜 suggests both pronunciation and an expansive quality. Originally, 逿 meant to pass by, move beyond a point, or exceed a boundary. Though now relatively rare in standard usage, its structure clearly illustrates how the concepts of traversal and surpassing were historically constructed.
