About

The word "履行" is formed from the character "履", which historically derives from a pictograph representing a shoe or the act of treading, and "行", a pictograph of a crossroads symbolizing movement or action; their compound merges the literal idea of stepping onto a path with the concept of proceeding, thus denoting the act of carrying out or fulfilling a duty.
