走 [zǒu] go, walk, leave; run/rush (​奔走); (radical 156, 走​部); (HDZ:) …

One monosyllabic entry in The ABC Chinese-English Comprehensive Dictionary (namespace Ci):

The Shuōwén Seal form of 走(​𧺆) zǒu ‘run/rush (headlong)’ (as in ​奔走) is said to combine ​夭(​𫯛) yāo ‘bend/lean/rush ahead/forward’, and ​止 zhǐ ‘foot’.
    Note: ​夭(​𫯛) yāo is a modification ​大 dà ‘big’ (person with outstretched arms), with the head leaning forward; cf. ​夨 zè.
    Compare: ​止 zhǐ ‘foot; stand/stop’; ​之(​𡳿​㞢) zhī ‘go out/forth’; ​出(​岀) chū ‘go out/forth, advance’.
    Note: In the modern form 走 the old top part ​夭 is wr. like ​土 (cf. ​赤, the old top of which was ​大), and the bottom is wr. ​龰.
    Compare: ​奔(​𢍃) bēn ‘run’ (in which the top was also ​夭; cf. ​奔走); ​是 shì, ​定 dìng (in which the bottom was ​正).
