What 徢 means

It describes brisk, agile walking. In Chinese, 徢 names quick, light movement on foot; it is a literary word.

The Chinese dictionary 集韻 from the Song dynasty glosses 徢 as 趨行貌, a manner of walking briskly. Later literary examples from the Ming dynasty keep the sense of speed and agility. Japanese references also record nimble action or quick, small steps, with the reading ショウ, roughly “shō” with a long o.

Literary Chinese; without a sentence or shared reference, 徢 can be hard to place in casual chat.
