About

The character "迻", meaning to transfer or move, is structurally composed of the walk radical 辶 and the component 多. Etymologically, it is linked to the character "移", both originating from the concept of movement or shifting. Originally denoting physical relocation, its meaning over time narrowed to specific literary contexts, particularly referring to the transference of written works or abstract concepts, while its general application declined in favor of other characters.
