坠
zhuì · HSK 7
to fall
⚓ 坠 = 队 (squad, sound zhuì) + 土 (earth) — a heavy thing drops to the ground
坠 — earth 土 + 队 (phonetic, originally 阜 mound)
A semantic-phonetic compound: 土 'earth' gives the meaning of falling to the ground, while the right side (historically 阜, a mound or cliff) supplied the sound and reinforced the idea of dropping from a height. The original sense 'to fall down' has remained stable into modern Chinese.
