About
The traditional character 適, constructed from the movement radical 辵 and the phonetic element 啇, initially carried the sense of going to or proceeding toward a place, with its meaning later expanding to include suitability, fitness, and comfort. The simplified form 适, composed of the radical 辶 and the component 舌 meaning tongue, originated as a separate character representing rapidity but has been adopted to express the same range of meanings as 適.
