About

迥 is a phono-semantic compound combining the radical 辶, associated with movement or walking, and the component 冋. 冋 depicts a border and also gives the sound. The image of a border dividing the walking path suggests a remote area far from the city, so the character originally meant "distant, remote". Over time, this spatial meaning shifted to abstract separation, and 迥 now describes things that are completely different or distinct. It often appears in comparisons to mark a significant gap in quality, appearance, or nature, rather than just physical distance.
