Origin of 迹

The character 迹 combines the radical 辶 (to walk) with 亦 (yì, also) as a phonetic component. It originally depicted the mark or footprint left behind as one walks, hence its meaning of 'trace' or 'mark'.

💡 Memory Tip: A walker (辶) takes a step, and also (亦) leaves a clear footprint behind.
