The kanji 遂 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). It combines the phonetic component 遂 (sui), which contributes the sound, with the radical 辶 (しんにょう, shinnyou), meaning "walk" or "movement." The radical 辶 implies the action or process of moving towards a goal. The original meaning of the character likely evolved from "to follow" or "to pursue" something until completion. Over time, it developed the broader sense of "to accomplish" or "to achieve."
