About
The character "迢" is structured as a phono-semantic compound, combining the radical "辶" to imply movement or distance with the phonetic component "召" which guides its pronunciation. Etymologically, it has consistently conveyed the idea of remoteness or being far away since its early appearances in classical Chinese texts. Over time, its meaning has remained stable, primarily denoting physical distance, and it is frequently encountered in reduplicated form such as "迢迢" to intensify the sense of expanse, as seen in the idiom "千里迢迢". While the character itself has not undergone significant structural alteration, its application persists in literary and descriptive contexts to evoke spatial separation.
