The kanji 逓 is a 形声文字 (keishō moji), a phono-semantic compound character. The left side is a part of the character, 辶 (しんにょう), a radical which often indicates movement or going. The right side is 弟 (おとうと), which is the phonetic component, suggesting the sound "te" or "dai." The combination of these parts implies the movement or passing of something in an orderly or successive manner, much like a younger sibling follows an older one. The character evolved over time, retaining its core meaning of sequential action or transfer.
