About
The character 赴 is a phono-semantic compound with the semantic radical 走 (zǒu, to walk/go) on the left, grounding it in the domain of movement. The right component 卜 (bǔ, divination) functions mainly as a phonetic element. 赴 specifically means to travel to a destination, attend an event, or rush toward a goal, often conveying purpose, urgency, or obligation. It appears in formal contexts for actions like attending a banquet, assuming an official post, or hurrying to provide aid, consistently denoting purposeful, directional travel.
