collect, matching

逑 is composed of the radical 辵 (walking) and 求 (request). 辵 conveys physical movement or action, while 求 depicts multiple animal hairs gathered and bound together, implying aggregation. Thus, 逑 expresses the concept of coming together or converging. Because two things can only gather in harmony if they are suitable for each other, 逑 naturally extended to mean a good match, pairing, or spouse.
