About

The character 辏, traditional form 輳, combines the semantic radical 车 (vehicle) with the phonetic component 奏. Its original meaning refers to the central hub of a wooden wheel, where the spokes converge. This image of gathering at a central point extended the character's meaning into a verb describing the convergence of people, objects, or events from different directions toward a single location.
