About
游 is a phono-semantic compound: the water radical 氵 conveys the meaning of water and fluid motion, while 斿 gives the sound. 斿 originally depicted a flag streaming from a pole, evoking drifting, undulating movement like a flag in the wind or an object floating on a river. The character primarily means to swim, and extends to wandering, traveling, touring, and roaming freely. It is a core component in words related to tourism, recreational travel, and aquatic activities.
