The kanji 遵 is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), a phono-semantic compound character. The left side is 辶 (しんにょう - shinnyou), which is a radical that depicts movement or walking. The right side is 尊 (そん - son), which means "respect" or "revere". The combination of these two components suggests "to follow with respect" or "to walk according to what is honored". The use of 尊 (son) as the sound component provides the phonetic cue ジュン(jun) for the character.
