The kanji 旅 is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), a phono-semantic compound character. The left side is 方 (hou), which originally depicted a "square" or "place." The right side is 㫃 (kyou), which is related to a flag. Originally, the 㫃 component meant "to walk; to wave in the wind" and also, like a flag, a destination, and the 方 component provides a semantic element, suggesting a place or direction. Thus 旅 combines the idea of "place" and "travel", suggesting the meaning of journey or travel to a particular place. Over time, the form of the kanji has changed, but the core meaning of journey remains.
