until, while

迨 is composed of the radical 辵 (walk) and 台 (plarform). 辵 represents the progression of time, while 台 conveys the idea of entrusting or instructing someone else to do something on one’s behalf. When entrusting a task to others rather than doing it oneself, one must wait for the other person to begin. Therefore, 迨 carries the meaning of until, by the time, or waiting until.
