Etymology
Ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意): 廴 + 聿. Originally, a pictogram (象形) — a hand (又) planting a pole (𰀁) into a base (Ji Xusheng, 2004). The left component was originally written as ∟. The right component is stylized as 聿; while the hand is still recognizable, the bottom part is unrelated to a writing brush. The whole character is mostly similar to 叔.
