Tips

usage
邃 is a literary word for deep and profound, both physically (a deep, secluded space) and abstractly. Common pairings are 深邃 (profound) and 幽邃 (deep and quiet).

Components

radical
辶 chuò
movement; to go (radical form)
The walk radical 辶 is written last in stroke order, wrapping the bottom-left. It adds a sense of going far in, reinforcing depth and distance.
semantic
穴 xué
cave; hole
Top 穴 (cave) sets the imagery: a deep cave reaching far back, the source of the "deep, far" meaning of 邃.
phonetic
㒸 suì
to follow through (here phonetic)
Beneath the cave sits 㒸, the phonetic element giving the sound suì. It is the same kernel inside 遂 (to fulfil).
