Radical ⾛ (zǒu) — meaning: run, 7 strokes.

Origin & mnemonic

The "run" radical (⾛) originates from a pictograph of a person with two legs in motion, with the two strokes on the left representing the moving feet. Over time the form simplified into its modern shape.

Mnemonic: The two strokes at the left of ⾛ resemble running feet in rapid succession—picture someone sprinting away.
