What 赽 means
赽 describes a foot striking or treading.
The Han dictionary Shuowen Jiezi explains it with 踶, a word for treading, stamping, or kicking. Later dictionary entries extend it to walking or swift movement, including a horse moving fast.
In the expression 趧赽, the Jiyun, another Chinese dictionary, describes the appearance of running.
Where did 赽 come from?
Its earliest documented record is in a Han dynasty dictionary.
The Shuowen Jiezi, compiled around 100 CE and presented in 121 CE, gives 𧻯 as its small-seal form, an early standardized writing style. It analyzes 赽 as 走, a movement-related meaning component, plus 夬, a sound component that hints at its reading.
This dictionary analysis explains how the written parts contribute meaning and sound, but it does not tell us who first coined the character or when.
Its recorded senses belong to classical Chinese vocabulary, suited to historical or dictionary contexts.

1Why does 赽 look different in my font?
It can: a font without 赽 may show a substitute glyph or an empty box; when the font supports it, that font draws the visible form.
