The kanji 赳 is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), a phono-semantic compound. This means it is formed by combining a semantic element (radical) that gives meaning with a phonetic element that provides the sound. In this case, it appears to be formed from the radical 走 (sō, meaning "to run" or "to walk") and the phonetic component 尗(shū). The original meaning seems to be connected to the idea of a vigorous stride or a martial bearing.
