The kanji 迅 is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), which means it combines a semantic component (meaning) and a phonetic component (sound). The left side is 辶 (しんにょう - shinnyou), which is a radical that depicts "movement" or "road". The right side is 卂 which is the phonetic component, conveying the sound "jin" and suggesting "speed" or "flight". Therefore, the character was created to represent something moving swiftly along a path. The entire character suggests speed by combining the idea of movement with a sound element related to that meaning.
