The word "谋略" is formed by combining the character "谋", a phonetic-semantic compound with the speech radical "讠" denoting verbal planning and "某" as a phonetic element, and "略", another phonetic-semantic compound with the field radical "田" implying strategic delineation and "各" as a phonetic element; together they create a binome where both characters semantically reinforce the concept of calculated strategy or tactical scheming.
