The kanji 赴 is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), which means "phonetic-semantic compound character." It is composed of the semantic component "走" (sō - to run or go) on the bottom, and the phonetic component "卜" (boku), which gives the sound. The original meaning of 赴 probably indicated a fast movement to a certain place or a hurried undertaking. The meaning gradually expanded to simply "to go" or "to head towards."
