About
The character 迆 is a phono-semantic compound, with the motion radical 辶 (chuò) enclosing the left and bottom to indicate walking, movement, or traversing a distance, and the phonetic component 也 (yě) dictating the pronunciation. Etymologically, it described a winding, meandering, indirect movement, often a path stretching out continuously but non-linearly, and it functions as a spatial term linking walking to a crooked, slanting geographical trajectory.
