The kanji 迅 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). It is composed of two parts: ・The radical 辶 (しんにょう) at the left side, which indicates movement, related to "road" or "to go." ・The right side of the character is 卂, which acts as the phonetic component, conveying the sound of "jin". The combination of these elements forms 迅 , emphasizing swift movement.
