走路

Why does 走路 look like this?

The character '走' (zǒu) looks like a person with their arms swinging while their legs are moving fast, representing 'to walk' or 'to run'. The character '路' (lù) consists of the 'foot' radical (⻊) on the left and a phonetic part '各' on the right, together representing a 'path' or 'road' that your feet travel on. Together, '走路' literally means 'to walk on a road'.
