Radicals

辶 movementIn some cases this radical 廴 is used, but the mnemonics are the same.
关 to closeThe meaning is actually “to close”. But also: pass summit or mountain pass. The pass is already in “heaven” 天, but from there it goes higher, because otherwise it wouldn't be a pass. And (due to the weather) a pass can be closed.
丷 coming outThis component is often understood as "something coming out".
