奔波
bēnbō · HSK 7
rush about
🏃💨 sounds like ben-bow — running so fast you bend your bow-legs
奔 means rush/run and 波 means wave. Together they describe being tossed around like a wave, constantly dashing from place to place with no rest.
奔 — 大 (person) over 卉 (originally three 止 'feet')
Originally a pictograph of a person (大) running with multiple feet (three 止) shown below to convey rapid motion. Over time the feet were simplified into the form 卉. The character means to run fast, rush, or hurry.
