2indexing radical for characters meaning 'extend' or 'walk far'
Tips
usage
廴 is a structural-only radical — it never functions as a standalone character. It appears as a left-bottom enclosing component, suggesting an extended pace or path. The classic examples are 建 (build), 延 (extend), and 廷 (court).
mistakes
Don't confuse 廴 (yǐn, long stride) with 辶 (chuò, walk — Kangxi #162). They look similar in print, but 辶 has an added top dot and is by far the more productive 'motion' radical.
