The kanji 転 (ten) is a pictophonetic character, meaning it combines a semantic component (representing meaning) and a phonetic component (representing sound). The left side is 車 (kuruma), meaning "vehicle" or "wheel," indicating movement. The right side is 専 (sen), which contributes the sound and has the meaning of "exclusive" or "specialized." Originally, it depicts a wheel turning, and the meaning evolved to encompass the general idea of turning, revolving, and changing.
