The character 游 yóu ‘swim’ has the component ​(​) shuǐ ‘water’ on the left, and ​ yóu (phonetic) on the right; formerly wr. ​/​ qiú/yōu ‘float/swim’, the old character 游 had different usage.
    The Shuōwén Seal form of 游(​􁉳􁉴𨒰) liú ‘streamers’ combines ​(​􁉠) yǎn ‘streamers’, and ​(​􁻢) qiú ‘float/swim’ (phonosemantic); formerly wr. ​𨒰(​􁉴), with the old form of ​(​􂥎𡿹), cf. ​.
    Note: Formerly 游 liú ‘streamers’, also wr. ​; later 游 yóu ‘float/swim’, formerly wr. ​(​􁻢􁻣); the late variant form ​ is today used as the full form in ‘travel’ senses; cf. ​.
    Compare: ​(​􁹪) fú ‘float’; ​(​􀢴) yōu ‘ford’ (formerly also wr. ​).
