伪造

to forge
💵 伪 (false) + 造 (make) = make falsely = forge / counterfeit
伪 means false or fake; 造 means to make or manufacture. Put together, 伪造 is to manufacture something false — to forge documents, fake signatures, or counterfeit money.
造 — 辶 (walk) + 告 (tell/announce)
造 combines the walking radical 辶 with 告 (announce), which also gives the sound. Originally it meant 'to go and report to,' then 'to reach' or 'arrive at.' Over time the meaning shifted to 'to make' or 'to build,' the sense most common today.
