Origin and Formation

The kanji is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). The left side is a radical called 辶 (しんにょう - shinnyou), which indicates "movement" or "travel." The right side is 辟 (heki), which serves as the phonetic component and provides the sound. Together, they suggest the idea of "moving away" or "avoiding" something by taking a path.
