history
A classical word for a wide road that branches out in every direction — the busy artery of an old walled city. It survives mainly in literary phrases like 通逵 and 大逵, and as a given-name character.
The walking radical 辶, a contracted form of 辵. It is always written last and wraps the bottom-left, marking roads, travel and movement — exactly right for a word meaning a major through-route.
The inner element 坴 (a lump of earth) supplies the sound and a faint hint of the road's earthen surface; here it is written first, before the motion radical sweeps in beneath it.
