About
The character 遂 is a phono-semantic compound. The semantic radical 辶, which wraps around the left and bottom, indicates movement or a journey. The inner component 㒸 serves as the phonetic element. Originally, the character described physically advancing along a path or successfully reaching a destination. Its meaning later extended to include the fulfillment of desires and successful accomplishment of goals, eventually developing into a conjunction meaning "thereupon" or "as a result". The phonetic component 㒸, which historically depicted a pig, contributes only the sound and has no semantic link to success or progression.
