踢
tī · HSK 6
to kick; to play (e.g. soccer)
⚽🦵 tī sounds like tee — you tee off a ball with your foot
Left side 足 means foot. Like teeing up in golf, 踢 is launching something forward with a swift kick.
踢 — foot radical 足 + 易 (yì) phonetic
踢 is a semantic-phonetic compound. The left side 足 (foot) gives the meaning, since kicking is done with the foot. The right side 易 supplies the sound, historically close to 'tī'. Together they form the verb 'to kick'.
