The kanji 逸 (itsu) is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). It combines the radical ⻍ (しんにょう, shinnyou, meaning "road" or "walk") with the phonetic element 兔 (うさぎ, usagi, rabbit). The original meaning of 逸 was related to a rabbit running away or escaping. The ⻍ gives the meaning of motion, and 兔 suggests the sound and the idea of speed or escape. Over time, the meaning expanded to encompass the ideas of deviation and excellence.
