构造

constitution
🏗️ 构 (construct) + 造 (make) = construction, structure, make-up
构 means to construct or frame (as in 结构 structure); 造 means to make or create (as in 制造 manufacture). Together: how something is built or composed — its structure, configuration, or constitution.
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.
