The kanji 捷 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, けいせいもじ). It combines two elements: the "hand" radical (扌, 手) on the left, which signifies action, and the phonetic component ⺘ (meaning "to pick up," or "to gather"). The original meaning may have related to rapidly grasping or capturing something, thus evolving to mean "swift" or "victory." The hand radical indicates an action, and the phonetic component ⺘ provides a sound element. Over time, the character developed to represent the idea of quickness and winning.
