The kanji 訪 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字 - keisei moji). The left side is a radical called 言 (げん - gen), meaning "speech" or "words," and the right side is 方 (ほう - hō), meaning "direction" or "way." The original meaning was related to speaking to someone who is at a certain place, indicating a visit or inquiry. This combination suggests the act of going somewhere to speak to someone, hence "to visit" or "to inquire." The right side, 方, also contributes to the sound of the character (phonetic component).
