The kanji 遣 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, けいせいもじ). The left side of the character is a radical, and it is a variation of the radical 辶 (しんにょう), which represents "walking" or "movement." The right side of the character is the phonetic component, 犬 (ken), which is "dog." The original meaning may have related to the act of sending dogs or other animals to accomplish tasks. Over time, the meaning expanded to encompass the broader concept of sending or dispatching people or things.
