About
The character 逐 combines the movement radical 辶 (chuò), meaning to walk or act, with the component 豕 (shǐ), which depicts a pig. This structure originates from the literal image of chasing a pig, a common task in early agricultural societies. From this concrete scene, the meaning generalized to the broader concept of pursuing, chasing, or driving out any target. Its usage thus expanded from physical hunting to metaphorical pursuits, such as seeking an outcome or expelling someone from a place.
