The kanji 逸 is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), a phonetic-semantic compound character. The character is composed of the radical 辶 (しんにょう - shinnyou), which indicates "movement" or "travel," and the phonetic component ☍ (pronounced *yi* in Old Chinese) . The combination of these elements suggests the idea of something moving quickly, escaping, or surpassing others. The phonetic component provides the sound, while the radical provides the semantic meaning.
