The kanji 陪 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). It combines two components to create its meaning and sound: the phonetic component, 咅 (hou/bu), which contributes to the pronunciation, and the semantic component, 阝 (left side of the character which signifies "soil" or "mound"). This combination, over time, formed the character, reflecting the idea of attending with, being present, or accompanying. The presence of the "soil" radical may also imply the stability and security in accompanying someone.
