Tips

usage
Almost always in 遨游 (to roam / range freely). It carries a grand, expansive feel — roaming the sky, the seas, or the ocean of knowledge — rather than an ordinary walk.

Components

radical
辶 chuò
to walk; movement
The walking radical, written last in stroke order, supplies the core idea of moving and traveling about.
phonetic
敖 áo
to ramble; surname Ao
Supplies the sound directly: 敖 is read áo and itself means to ramble, so it carries meaning here as well as sound. Same phonetic in 傲 and 熬.
