The kanji 徒 is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), a phono-semantic compound character. The character is composed of the radical 彳 (gyou no gyoo, meaning "step" or "walk") on the left and 土 (tsuchi, meaning "earth" or "ground") on the right, acting as the phonetic component. The "step" radical suggests movement or walking, implying someone following or going along. The phonetic component 土, when combined with 彳, suggests the sound and possibly reinforces the idea of being grounded or being on the earth, thus associating the concept of a follower or companion. The original meaning evolved to also encompass concepts like "useless" or "vain" due to its association with a lack of achievement or wandering aimlessly.
