随意
suíyì · HSK 5
as one pleases
🤷 随 (follow) + 意 (intention) = follow your intention, do as you please
随 means to follow or go along with; 意 means thought, will, or intention. Together they describe acting in line with one's own wishes — freely, casually, as one pleases.
随 — 辶 (walk) + 阝 (mound) + 有 phonetic
随 combines the walk radical 辶 with a phonetic component derived from 隋. The original sense is 'to follow along a path,' from the walking radical suggesting movement after someone. Over time it broadened to mean 'follow,' 'accompany,' or 'comply with.'
