走
zǒu
to walk
to go; to run; to move (of vehicle); to visit; to leave; to go away; to die (euph.); from; through; away (in compound verbs, such as 撤走[che4 zou3]); to change (shape, form, meaning)
ground (土) + foot (止) = to walk and go
止 originally depicted a foot (toes and sole), so the character captures feet pressing against the ground in motion. Together they evoke the basic human act of putting foot to earth and moving forward.
