The core meaning of the kanji 逝逝 is "to die," "to pass away," or "to depart." It implies the end of life or a transition away from the current state. This kanji suggests a permanent departure, typically associated with death, but can sometimes be used more broadly to refer to the passage of time or a transition.

The kanji 逝逝 is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), a phono-semantic compound. It combines two parts: ⾡ (shinjū) which is derived from 行 (gyō, meaning "to go" or "to move") and represents the meaning; and a phonetic component 㳄 (gei, but in this character's case indicates sound rather than semantic meaning). The left side signifies the concept of going or movement, while the right side suggests the sound and adds to the meaning, and when put together creates a meaning connected to going away and death. The ⾡ component itself is related to a road or pathway, strengthening the idea of departure or leaving. The kanji evolved over time, taking its current form.
