About
逐 is an ideogrammic compound that pairs the movement radical 辶 (chuò), a stylized foot, with 豕 (shǐ), a wild hog, to depict a foot chasing a hog. This image, rooted in ancient hunting, originally meant to chase game. The sense then broadened to any pursuit, chasing away, or driving out, and later extended to figurative uses like striving for an outcome or expelling someone.
