qiǎn

(bound form) to dispatch; to send

(bound form) to drive away; to dispel

Movement along a path (辶) + phonetic core (㠯) = dispatch or drive away

The movement radical (辶) carries the core meaning of sending someone off along a path. The inner portion 㠯 (with 中 and 一) is largely phonetic, contributing to the qiǎn sound rather than the meaning.
