超过

Why does 超过 look like this?

'超' (chāo) combines '走' (zǒu - to walk/run) and '召' (zhào - to summon). Imagine running so fast you're summoned to the front—it means to leap over or surpass! '过' (guò) combines '辶' (walking radical) and '寸' (inch/unit). It depicts the idea of walking past or crossing a certain point. Together, they mean to go beyond or exceed!
